Lea and Sébastien go to IBC

Two of our PhD students, Lea and Sébastien, took part in the twentieth edition of the International Botanical Congress (or IBC XX), organized in Madrid from July 21 to 28. Lea gave a talk to present her last results about the new drivers of the epiphytic bryophytes, namely the fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) present in the air. During the congress, she also met the international community of bryologists, notably at the IAB’s meeting (International Association of Bryologists). Sébastien presented his final results about the Macaronesian bryophyte flora and its origins. He was able to meet with his colleagues from the University of La Laguna where he is also working and start new collaborations.
