Jelena PANTEL

Jelena PANTEL is a Professor at the University of Franche-Comté, affiliated with the DYNABIO research unit. Her work focuses on invasion biology, metapopulation dynamics, and eco-evolutionary processes in ecological communities. She has contributed to understanding how ecological and evolutionary mechanisms interact to shape biodiversity patterns, particularly in response to environmental changes and anthropogenic pressures like urbanization.

Her research integrates theoretical models, empirical field studies, and statistical methods to explore topics such as species invasions, community assembly, and the impacts of multiple stressors. Notable projects include analyzing the introduction-naturalization-invasion continuum and developing frameworks like the 'Time Machine' for biodiversity monitoring.

Recent studies highlight her work on predator-prey interactions under trait variation, urbanization effects on zooplankton communities, and statistical innovations for detecting eco-evolutionary dynamics. She collaborates internationally, bridging disciplines such as ecology, evolution, and environmental science.

Jelena’s contributions emphasize practical applications, including conservation strategies and predictive modeling to address biodiversity loss. Her interdisciplinary approach addresses pressing global challenges like climate change and ecosystem resilience.
