Sophie Wallon is currently doing her Ph.D in Interdisciplinary Landscape Management at the University of the Azores. Main interest is to study the impact of climate change on pasture arthropods’ communities in the Archipelago of the Azores. After she obtained a master degree made of one year in functioning of natural and cultivated ecosystems at Montpellier University (Hérault, France) and a second year in integrated physiology in extreme conditions (constraining or abnormal life conditions for the organism studied) at the University Claude Bernard Lyon1 (Rhône, France) en 2010, she have been working on different investigation projects related to the diversity of arthropods, within the Azorean Biodiversity group (cE3c) in the Azores.
