Julien Courant defends his PhD thesis
Congratulations Julien! Doctor Invaxen Courant defends his thesis infront of a jury of amphibian experts from around the world.
Invasive biology of Xenopus laevis in Europe: ecological effects and physiological adaptations
Julien has already published a lof of papers from his thesis, but there are still some great ones to come...
