This section presents our research outputs and outreach activities related to wild Coffea species from Madagascar, particularly the Baracoffea group. It includes scientific publications, conference presentations, webinars, and media resources addressing their biology, morphology, ecology, phenology, genomics, evolution, and conservation.
Architecture and evolution of three representative species of the Coffea genus (Baracoffea group), illustrating remarkable adaptation to the hot and dry climates of western Madagascar
Presentation of my participation in the national final of the Ma thèse en 180 secondes competition. This talk highlights research on the architecture and evolution of three species of the genus Coffea from the Baracoffea group, endemic to Madagascar, illustrating their remarkable adaptation to the hot and dry environments of western Madagascar.

Architectural singularity and phenotypic plasticity of wild Coffea (Baracoffea group): Responses to environmental constraints in Madagascar
This presentation was delivered as part of the webinar series organized by the IRN LiStat – International Research Network for Life Statistics. The webinar, titled “Can evolutionary ecology really predict the future of species? A case study of statistics applied to conservation,” explores how quantitative approaches can help understand species responses to environmental change.
In this talk, I present research on the architectural traits and phenotypic plasticity of wild Coffea species from the Baracoffea group in Madagascar, highlighting how these endemic species respond to environmental constraints and what this may reveal about their evolutionary strategies and adaptive potential.
