[FRB-CESAB] Newsletter 14 CESAB – February 2026
The FRB’s Center for Biodiversity Synthesis and Analysis (CESAB) is a research structure with an international scope whose objective is to implement innovative work on the synthesis and analysis of existing data sets in the field of biodiversity. Twice a year, the CESAB publishes a newsletter listing the different news and activities going on.
A few words from Aude Vialatte, Scientific Director of the FRB-CESAB

Research Director at INRAE, I am pleased and honored to join the FRB-CESAB centre as its Scientific Director, succeeding Nicolas Mouquet, whom I sincerely thank for all the work accomplished for the development of CESAB: you are handing over the keys to a centre with well-established operations and international recognition, and I will strive to live up to it.
Calls for projects, hosting international scientific working groups with dedicated postdoctoral researchers, synthesis publications, high-level training, seminars… Cesab indeed offers, thanks to a particularly committed team of managers, communication officers and data scientists, a unique working environment in France to advance international knowledge on biodiversity and contribute to halting its decline, notably by supporting public policies.
My motivation to take on these new responsibilities has been largely nourished by my experience as the coordinator of a Cesab project, with week-long collective and friendly working sessions that I found magically organized and exceptionally productive scientifically. Simply put, they are rare moments of pure research in our daily lives as researchers. As a member of the CESAB Scientific Committee (CS) for two terms, I was also able to witness the richness of the proposals and the scientific excellence co-led by French scientists from all fields of ecology. I would like to take this opportunity to warmly thank the outgoing SC for its commitment over the past four years. Now as Scientific Director of CESAB, I aim to enable the scientific community and project teams to reach the most ambitious and impactful scientific objectives. Supporting the postdoctoral researchers involved in CESAB projects in their daily work and scientific careers, in complement to the projects’ PIs, is another managerial responsibility that I particularly value. My dual experience in leading scientific syntheses for ministries and directing a research laboratory gives me the initial confidence to take on these new missions, even though the challenge appears very great! While working for Cesab half of my time, I continue my research activities in landscape agroecology at Dynafor in Toulouse.

>> Interview with Aude Vialatte

CESAB since September 2025
A host venue for research groups, visiting researchers and sometimes scientific meetings, CESAB is rarely empty.
Over nineteen weeks, at the turn of 2025 and 2026, nineteen groups followed one another there, including three hosted for the first time: FISHMIP-OSP (a project resulting from the 2024 generic call for projects) and the “Knowledge Hubs” ARCHETYPES and JUSTICE (projects from PC03 of the PEPR Nature-based Solutions).
This sustained activity was complemented by three training sessions and a meeting of the FRB Scientific Council. All were opportunities to meet, exchange ideas and foster new scientific collaborations.

This momentum at CESAB relies in particular on its scientific committee. Composed of around twenty researchers with diverse expertise covering a broad multidisciplinary field, the committee is currently undergoing renewal. As the call for applications has now closed (18 February), we will present the new composition of the committee in the next newsletter.
We would already like to extend our sincere thanks to the outgoing members of the scientific committee for their commitment over the years, the time dedicated to evaluating projects submitted to the calls, the reflection carried out on CESAB’s strategic directions, and their contribution to its visibility.
2025 Call – IDEASHARE & DATASHARE
As part of the FRB-CESAB 2025 call for projects with the support of the PNDB, three innovative projects on the synthesis of ideas and concepts and the analysis of existing data were selected:
- CROPTRAITS, Building a database on the functional traits of cultivated species, coordinated by Lucie MAHAUT (INRAE, France) and Samuel PIRONON (Queen Mary Univ. of London, UK).

- FUNDIVA, Towards a framework to quantify and explain the causes of changes in functional diversity, coordinated by Pol CAPDEVILA (Univ. de Barcelona, Spain) and Sandrine PAVOINE (MNHN, France).

- SILK, Supporting the preservation of Indigenous and local knowledge in global biodiversity use data, coordinated by Giulia MATTALIA (Univ. de Barcelona, Spain) and Guillaume ODONNE (CNRS LEEISA, French Guiana).

2025 Call – France – Canada: 3rd joint call
The third CIEE – FRB-CESAB joint call, funded by the French Embassy in Canada, enabled Marie-Josée Fortin to come to CESAB to work with the FOOD-WEBS group. A recurring CIEE – FRB-CESAB call that has fostered meetings, synergies and productive exchanges!
“Through collaboration between the FRB-CESAB (France) and CIEE (Canada), and the French Embassy in Canada, I, Marie-Josée Fortin, was able to participate in the 5th workshop of the FOOD-WEBS working group. The co-organizers, participants, and staff were very welcoming. (…) Overall, it is an extremely well-run and productive working group that fostered scientific interactions and collaborations among all participants, advancing current knowledge of how isotopic data can help resolve food web structures and functions.”

[Upcoming call] Generic Call for Projects 2026
2026 marks the return of the FRB-CESAB generic call for projects! The aim of this call is to fund innovative projects that synthesize ideas and concepts and/or analyze existing data, in order to improve scientific knowledge related to biodiversity and help better protect it. Submitted projects may address any topic related to biodiversity, from the perspective of natural sciences and/or social sciences and humanities. Work on the relationship between biodiversity and the four other domains of the Nexus as defined by IPBES (human health, water, food and climate) is encouraged.
The call will open on 15 April 2026.

[Past and upcoming webinars] CESABINARS
The CESABINARS, monthly online scientific meetings, continue in 2026. They provide a rare opportunity for direct exchange with project members and can also be (re)watched on YouTube. Find all the information and recordings of past CESABINARS — as well as information and the connection link for the next one:
We can already announce the next three CESABINARS:
- On 26 March at 3 pm for NEFINEO, on fungal interaction networks in the Neotropical regions.
- On 23 April at 3 pm for FAUNASERVICES, on the relationships between soil macrofauna biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services in the South American Neotropics.
- On 28 May at 3 pm for INTRACO, on “Untangling the role of intraspecific variability in the coexistence of tropical forest tree species”.
[Past event] Focus on the Blue and Green Justice conference
How can stakeholder engagement in conservation processes strengthen the protection and resilience of terrestrial and marine ecosystems? This is the question addressed by four FRB-CESAB research groups (BLUE JUSTICE, JUSTCONSERVATION, POWERBIODIV and PARSEC in collaboration with MPA-POVERTY), which shared their reflections during a conference held on 18 December 2025 in Paris. If the event interests you but you were unable to attend, don’t worry—we have you covered with this feature article that summarizes the presentations and discussions from the conference.

Nicolas Mouquet stepped down from his position at the end of 2025. His role has been taken over by Aude Vialatte – whom you may already have had the opportunity to get to know.
Beyond the scientific directorship, there has also been some movement among the postdoctoral researchers.
We therefore said goodbye to Clara Marino, postdoctoral researcher in the RIVAGE group, to whom we wish all the best for her future endeavors.
On the arrivals side, we were pleased to welcome:
- Stanislas Rigal, postdoctoral researcher on the BEYONDS project, in November 2025.
- Karina Montero, postdoctoral researcher on the KH EVOLUTION project, with us since early February.
And, outside the Montpellier offices, we would also like to welcome Lisa Darmet, postdoctoral researcher on the KH JUSTICE project, recruited in January by INRAE within the DYNAFOR unit in Toulouse.

- Hello Cassie, could you tell us about your research within the DISCAR group?
Our project aims to understand and predict the impacts of human activity on small carnivores. This work stems from the need to understand how ecological populations respond to changes in their environment in order to effective conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. With most ecological populations exposed to multiple concurrent threats (e.g. habitat loss, pesticide use, etc.), predicting population-level responses can be challenging. We use small carnivores as a study system to exemplify analytical approaches and conceptual advances for understanding the population consequences of human activity, while also providing information for the management of small carnivores in France.

In recent publications(1,2), our working group provided guidance on how to predict population-level responses to disturbance, including information on the ecological processes, modelling approaches, and model integrations that researchers and practitioners can consider using. We have also applied various modelling approaches to case-studies, including for pine and stone marten(2), Eurasian otters(3), and Eurasian lynx(4). We have a lot on the go right now ahead of our fourth workshop – so stay tuned for more!

- Your postdoc has brought you to Montpellier, where you work both at CESAB, the synthesis centre of FRB, and periodically at CEFE, a CNRS research centre where one of the project leaders of DISCAR is based. How does your work unfold between these two environments, and how does having these two scientific bases in Montpellier enrich your research?
For the most part I am based at the CESAB. CESAB has a more close-knit feel and great access to the CESAB groups, which can be a great way to extend research networks. But I have access to a larger research group at the CEFE, so there are a lot of opportunities to attend meetings, seminars, and other events. This combination is highly beneficial for networking as well as developing friendships with a diverse group of people.
- More generally, how would you describe the experience of doing a postdoc in France? What do you see as the main strengths and challenges, and what advice would you give to other international early-career researchers considering this path?
It has been a really interesting experience that I’ll certainly remember for a lifetime. I moved here with my young family, which certainly had its challenges!
The research culture in France is quite different from Australia, with a lot more focus on work-life balance. This was super refreshing to see. There’s a whole other ecosystem of research, with different grant opportunities and a fairly intricate process to land a permanent position. Knowing that I didn’t want to stay in France long-term, I didn’t need to think too much about this but I definitely appreciate that there are a lot more research-only avenues in France.
The main challenge was around French administration. Thankfully people are always willing to help navigate this. We also chose to have our son in a French public school rather than international school. He has really thrived in this diverse environment. Moving internationally, especially across the other side of the globe, is not easy but it is well worth it!
Articles from CESAB groups highlighted on the FRB website and social media
Your research is also featured online!
- Social justice and equity are not merely moral imperatives, but essential conditions for ecological success. They determine local acceptance, effectiveness, and the long-term impact of projects. Beyond this observation, scientists propose concrete tools to assess the integration of social justice into projects, as well as guidelines for implementing it. The challenge now is to put these into practice. Read the summary “red thread” of the conference on green and blue justice, which brought together the results of the JustConservation, Blue Justice, PowerBiodiv and Parsec groups in collaboration with MPA-Poverty.

- Among the tools discussed in the summary: the Ocean Equity Index (OEI), developed by the Blue Justice group. The first global tool designed to measure, compare and promote equity in ocean-related initiatives, projects and policies, the Ocean Equity Index transforms a notion that is often abstract into a measurable and actionable standard.

Read the press release on the OEI
- Also among the tools discussed in the summary: the PowerBiodiv group has published two complementary resources for practitioners, researchers and facilitators to better understand and integrate power dynamics in participatory processes related to biodiversity: an illustrated interactive handbook and a booklet of narratives.
