François Catzeflis was affiliated with the University of Montpellier in France and contributed extensively to research in environmental science and earth and planetary sciences. Their scientific work encompassed significant publications in the subfields of paleontology, nature and landscape conservation, ecology, molecular biology, and genetics.

The research topics that defined Catzeflis's career included:

  • Evolution and paleontology studies
  • Fish biology, ecology, and behavior
  • Wildlife ecology and conservation
  • Genomics and phylogenetic studies
  • Genetic diversity and population structure
  • Vector-borne infectious diseases
  • Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences

Catzeflis published research articles across a range of scientific journals and venues. Frequent publication outlets included Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Tropical Conservation Science, Systematic Biology, Nature Communications, and Emerging Infectious Diseases.

Some of the recent papers associated with their research are:
