Bernard Hugueny is a senior scientist at IRD, the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development. He is currently a staff member of the Research Center for Biodiversity and Environment (CRBE), in Toulouse, France. He earned a PhD in biomathematics in 1989 at the Paris 7 University. He led two research groups, has been involved as PI or collaborator in about 15 national and international research projects. As a freshwater fish ecologist, he worked in partnership with countries in West Africa, South America and South-East Asia to document biodiversity patterns and to assess the impact of human activities (dams, pollution, fisheries) on ecological communities. Besides this focus on tropical ichthyofaunas, his work has addressed a broad array of fundamental and applied topics, such as population, metapopulation and community dynamics, global macro-ecology, biogeography, parasitology, systematics, eco-morphology, conservation biology and biotic integrity assessment. Since a few years, he is particularly interested in extinction dynamics among populations or within communities to better understand and predict the delayed biodiversity loss induced by habitat fragmentation. He is also currently collaborating with the Institute of Hydrobiology CAS on issues related to eutrophication and fishing ban in the Yangtze River. He has authored more than 100 articles published in peer-reviewed journals including Science Advances, PNAS and Ecology Letters.
