FSBI 2020 award for Julien Cucherousset

This distinction from the Fisheries Society of the British Isles was awarded to Julien Cucherousset, researcher in the Evolution & Biological Diversity unit (UMR 5174 UPS / CNRS / IRD), for his research on the links between biodiversity (inter- and intra- specific) and functioning of aquatic ecosystems, including the effects of biological invasions and anthropogenic activities on food webs.

Julien is the research director for the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) based at Toulouse University, France. His early research focused on general fish ecology, where he developed an innovative approach coupling stable isotope analysis and telemetry at the individual level.

During his time in Toulouse University he has developed a research group whose work focuses on how invasive species disrupt the trophic relationships within native food webs and how these changes subsequently cascade into changes in ecosystem functioning.
