Camille Sautereau

Camille graduated from a double master’s degree in Oceanography (Liège University) and Biodiversity and Environment (EPHE).

During her master thesis, she worked in the EcoEvoDevo team, in collaboration with the CRIOBE, on the symbiosis between sea anemones and the clown anemonefish Amphiprion ocellaris.

Camille started her PhD in October 2022, under the supervision of Laurence Besseau, and in collaboration with OIST (Vincent LAUDET) and the CRIOBE (David LECCHINI). Camille studies the spatial and social organization of anemonefishes living in megacolonies along with the consequences it has on their ecophysiological and neuroendocrine status. She studies these aspects in 3 species of anemonefishes: Amphiprion chrysopterus, Amphiprion frenatus and Amphiprion clarkii, either directly in their natural environment in Bora-Bora island (French Polynesia) and Okinawa island (Japan), or in aquarium at Banyuls-sur-Mer (France). When she is not in the lab, Camille loves spending my time underwater or joining her friends to discover new places where delicious food can be found!
