Who we are

ODYSSEE is a binational research project, involving French and Romanian partners:

• “A. Borza” Botanical Garden, Babes-University Cluj-Napoca
• Laboratoire d’Ecologie Alpine (LECA), CNRS – UJF
•  Laboratoire de Biométrie et Biologie Evolutive (LBBE), CNRS – UCB

What we do

ODYSSEE aims at integrating ecology and evolution to understand and predict the dynamics of species assemblages at a biogeographical scale. The project will focus on the high mountain ecosystems of the Alps and the Carpathians. …

Our goals

The main purpose of ODYSSEE is to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes that drive the diversity patterns of species assemblages in mountain grasslands and to implement integrated biodiversity models that will synthesize our understanding of the short and long-term dynamics of these herbaceous ecosystems.
