  • "There is plenty of room at the bottom: microclimates drive insect vulnerability to climate change," 2020, Current Opinion in Insect Science
  • "Mechanistic forecasts of species responses to climate change: The promise of biophysical ecology," 2022, Global Change Biology
  • "Microclimate, an important part of ecology and biogeography," 2024, Global Ecology and Biogeography

Among frequent collaborators, Pincebourde works often with the following co-authors:

  • H. Arthur Woods
  • Gwenaëlle Deconninck
  • Hervé Colinet
  • Marc Gibernau
  • Chun-Sen Ma

The scientist's expertise also extends into subfields such as insect science, ecology, genetics, ecological modeling, and the interrelated disciplines of ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics. Their contributions help explore the complex interactions between insects and their environments, emphasizing responses to climate variability and the microclimatic mechanisms that affect species vulnerability.
