 Swabbing an Alpine newt for chytrid in Alsace, France © Laurent Schwebel Hello and welcome to my
homepage. I'm an evolutionary/conservation
biologist mainly interested in the processes
that helped shape diversity, as well as species
delineation and population genetics. I did my
PhD at the Evolution
and Biological Diversity (EDB) lab in
Toulouse (France) on the evolutionary history
and biogeography of the frogs from the Guiana Shield.
Frogs are quite fascinating creatures that
display a large array of forms, colors, and life
history traits. This diversity is particularly
striking in the tropics. They are threatened
worldwide and much effort is needed to study and
protect them.
Currently, I'm a study leader in herpetology at Conservatoire d'espaces naturels de Lorraine in Bainville-aux-Miroir (it's near Nancy, in northeastern France), where I work on amphibians and reptiles conservation. You can reach me through my e-mail address: jpvacher(at)gmail.com X github
