PhD student

I am a PhD student in evolutionary ecology using great and blue
tits to compare coloured signals of forest, urban and corsican
birds to assess the impacts of urbanisation and climate
change on these traits and selection associated.

Project in collaboration with David López Idiáquez.

Thesis project: Climatic, anthropic and intrinsic determinants of ornaments expression and their association to fitness.

Urbanisation and climate change are two major factors driving ongoign environmental changes in wirld populations worldwide. Research has revealed plastic and genetic responses to these anthropogenic changes. A shift in environmental conditions are expected to impose novel slective forces that can shape phenotypic variation of populations living in urban environments. Ornaments such as conspicuous colourations play a crucial role shaping interactions between individuals in inter and intra-sexual contexts. Ornamentals surch as feathers, with carotenoid-based (yellow to red), structural (blue) and melanic colours, are expected to be associated with variation in environmental conditions. Phenotypic divergences are known in urban environments, however understanding the underlying mechanisms driving colour variation are not investigated.

This projects uses a long time dataset from the following of four blue tits populations, three in Corsica and one near Montpellier, and two great tits populations from the city of Montpellier and a nearby forest. Overall it covers 10 to nearly 20 years of colouration data. This dataset results from the work of numerous researchers and students from the CEFE TIT PROJECT.

This thesis aims to:

• Unravel the effects of urbanisation and climate change on carotenoid colouration in the great tits, and investigate whether phenotypic divergence has a temporal pattern.
• Understand which urban characteristic is causing changes in bird colouration using
  1/ common garden experiments to see whether there is plastic or genetic changes.
  2/ metabarcoding data to see what urban and forest birds are eating while they renew their feathers.
• Investigate selection by survival on coloured ornaments for both blue and great tits and compare it between environments.

Long-lived predatory birds ecology, demography and movement.

I am interested in the population dynamics of long-lived (seabirds and raptors). I study how demography and behavioural mechanisms such as movement are influenced by inter- and intraspecific relationships and the environment (climate, weather, habitat). The aim of my PhD thesis is to investigate the relationship between individual movement and demographic variability in the French population of the Bonelli's eagle (Aquila fasciata).

I am an evolutionary and behavioural ecologist broadly interested in understanding the causes and consequences of phenotypic variation in behaviour, life-history and physiology across different hierarchical levels of organization. In my current postdoc with Anne Charmantier and Sandra Bouwhuis I focus on the evolutionary genetics of phenotypic plasticityusing a long-term data set of common terns (Sterna hirundo) from the North Coast of Germany.

PhD Candidate – Marine ecology and conservation 

I am a PhD candidate, working at the interface between movement ecology and marine conservation. My PhD project aims to deliver science-based, conservation-oriented evidence to inform the conservation of highly mobile seabirds in the Atlantic. It is a partnership between the CEFE, the University of Lisbon, BirdLife International and the UN Evironment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC).

Le projet BIRDMOVE porte sur l'évaluation des déplacements de populations d'oiseaux marins induits par les parcs éoliens en mer sur les façades Manche et Atlantique. Ce projet s'inscrit dans le cadre des travaux du GT ECUME piloté par le ministère de la transition écologique.

En tant qu'ingénieure d'études du projet, je travaille entre autres sur le développement d'un modèle d'évaluation des effets "déplacement" (perte d'habitat fonctionnel) et "barrière" (création d'obstacles au mouvement) des parcs éoliens en mer sur les populations d'oiseaux marins.

Post-doctorante – CNRS

I am a quantitative ecologist interested in the spatio-temporal dynamics of species, particularly seabirds, using various modelling techniques (capture-recapture, integrated population model, density surface modelling, etc.).

Research projects:Project OWFSOMM, Project MIGRATLANE.

Chercheur postdoctoral / Postdoctoral researcher

J'étudie les mécanismes de la répartition spatiale des grands herbivores, des grands carnivores et des oiseaux marins dans le but d'approfondir nos connaissances sur les interactions prédateur-proies (jeu spatial prédateur-proie, stratégie d'alimentation, stratégie de recherche des prédateurs, stratégie anti-prédatrice des proies) et d'améliorer les mesures de gestion et de conservation de la faune.

Maitre de conférences à Université de Montpellier

J’étudie les mécanismes comportementaux liés au mouvement, gouvernant l'utilisation de l’habitat et leurs conséquences sur la dynamique des populations chez les oiseaux. J’utilise une approche intégrative de la biologie de la conservation, à l’interface avec l’écologie comportementale, physiologie et écologie des populations.

I study behavioural mechanisms related to movement, driving habitat use and their consequences on population dynamics in birds. I am using an integrative approach of conservation biology, at the interface with behavioural ecology, physiology and population ecology

PhD candidate – EPHE & CEN Occitanie

Ma thèse a pour objectif d’étudier l’efficacité des mesures compensatoires d’un grand projet d’infrastructure, la LGV « Contournement Nîmes-Montpellier » (CNM). Les mesures sont majoritairement des mesures agro-écologiques à destination des outardes canepetières, œdicnèmes criards, lézards ocellés, orthoptères, dianes… L’étude permet d’appréhender les facteurs de succès ou d’échecs d’un projet compensatoire dans son ensemble et également d’apporter un retour sur des protocoles d’évaluation des mesures. Cette thèse permet aussi d’améliorer les connaissances sur l’écologie d’espèces méditerranéennes et mener à des préconisations de mesures de conservation.

Postdoctoral Researcher

My research interests lie at the interface between population dynamics, quantitative ecology, conservation and life history evolution. I mostly focus on empirical work, on wild animal populations, but I also do some methodological development and a bit of theoretical work.
