Yves-Marie Bozec

Yves-Marie Bozec is a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, specializing in marine ecology with a focus on coral reef resilience. His work examines the dynamics of coral populations and reef-associated fish in response to climate-driven disturbances and overfishing of herbivores, particularly in the Caribbean. He holds a PhD in Marine Ecology from Université de Paris VI (Pierre et Marie Curie), where his research centered on reef fish ecology in New Caledonia.

Education:

• BSc, MSc, and PhD in Marine Ecology – Université de Paris VI

His research interests include understanding mechanisms regulating coral and fish demographic abundance, evaluating reef resilience, and addressing conservation challenges. Recent studies highlight the intersection of climate change impacts on fisheries and socio-economic vulnerability.

While no formal awards are listed, his work has been featured in media releases discussing coral reef DNA analysis and climate change effects on tropical fisheries.
