Biography[]

Conand obtained her PhD in biological oceanography at University of Western Brittany in Brest in 1988. Her thesis focused on Aspidochirotida of the New Caledonia Barrier Reef (French: Les Holothuries aspidochirotes du lagon de Nouvelle-Calédonie).[1] In January 1993, she joined the marine ecology laboratory (ECOMAR) at the University of La Réunion and eventually became its chief scientist.[2] Her expertise extends to all echinoderms of the Indo-Pacific, but her work has focused on sea cucumbers,[3] but also on other echinoderms of la Réunion.[4] Her other work has included studies of the crown-of-thorns starfish, which preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). She was a member of the scientific committee of the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association from 2001 to 2004. She has since retired and become emeritus faculty.[5]

Works[]

Her works include more than thirty books or book chapters and over 100 peer-reviewed articles and reports.[3]
