The Metatron: an experimental system to study dispersal and metaecosystems for terrestrial organisms

Located in the French Pyrenees, the Metatron comprises 48 units, each stretches 100-m² * 2-m height, where we can manipulate climatic conditions (temperature, humidity or solar radiation). Units are connected by corridors allowing migration from one environment to another. The Metatron focuses on climatic effects on population dynamics, especially in the framework of the global warming and fragmentation.
