Overview

Didier Jollivet is affiliated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with particular emphasis on oceanography and ecology.

Their scholarly output includes notable publications on marine biology, specifically centered on deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems and associated species. Recent papers highlight diverse aspects of genetic connectivity, species divergence, and ecosystem assessments:

  • Contrasted phylogeographic patterns of hydrothermal vent gastropods along South West Pacific: Woodlark Basin, a possible contact zone and/or stepping-stone (2022, PLoS ONE)
  • Subtle limits to connectivity revealed by outlier loci within two divergent metapopulations of the deep-sea hydrothermal gastropod Ifremeria nautilei (2022, Molecular Ecology)
  • Inter-Specific Genetic Exchange Despite Strong Divergence in Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Gastropods of the Genus Alviniconcha (2022, Genes)
  • A blueprint for integrating scientific approaches and international communities to assess basin-wide ocean ecosystem status (2023, Communications Earth & Environment)
  • Active hydrothermal vents in the Woodlark Basin may act as dispersing centres for hydrothermal fauna (2022, Communications Earth & Environment)

Their coauthor network includes collaborators with frequent partnerships such as Stéphane Hourdez, Thomas Broquet, Claire Daguin-Thiébaut, Jade Castel, and Jean Mary.

Jollivet's research appears regularly in several publication venues, among which are:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • The Science of The Total Environment
  • PLoS ONE
  • Molecular Ecology

A significant portion of their academic work intersects with multiple subfields, including molecular biology, global and planetary change, and genetics. The main scientific topics covered in their research are diverse:

  • Marine Biology and Ecology Research
  • Isotope Analysis in Ecology
  • Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies
  • Parasite Biology and Host Interactions
  • Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies
  • Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior
  • Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies
