Function: I direct the CSCF enterprise and
define its strategy ; I undertake its
relations with the field naturalists (entomologists for the majority), with the
cantonal and federal services of
protection of species and their habitats and its relationship with the foreign
institutions active in the same field.
Field: qualified
as a biologist, I carried out diploma work on the flora and fauna of the
spiders living in dry grasslands then a thesis on the butterflies of the
various environments of the canton of Neuchâtel. I am particularly interested in the
geographical distribution of species and in their potential as bio-indicators.
I am attainable: in theory every day between 0800
and 1800 (even later)

I can answer you: preferably
in French; if you insist a little in German and English; I will try to find an
answer to all your questions concerning the organization, the goals and the
strategy of the CSCF as well as the distribution, the ecology and the state of
Invertebrate species integrated in the DB.
