个人简介：

Cyrille Violle(PhD, 2007, Univ. Montpellier) is a CNRS senior researcher in the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology (CEFE) at Montpellier, France. He is a functional ecologist who has gained extensive experience and international recognition in ecology, in particular functional ecology (his 2007 Oikos paper on functional traits has been cited 4,000 times) and community ecology (his 2012 Trends in Ecology and Evolution paper on intraspecific trait variability in community ecology has been cited 1,500 times). He has done both empirical and theoretical work. He has long had expressed strong interests in developing concepts, very often beyond his primary research area, as well as in coordinating field work, special issues, international workshops and networks. He has developed three main research axes: (i) investigating macroecological laws; (ii) investigating community assembly processes; (iii) investigating the ecological and evolutionary drivers of species traits, trade-offs and ecological strategies in both wild and cultivated species.
