Research themes

My research aims to understand the role played by agrobiodiversity in the resilience of agroecosystems amidst global changes. I document changes in agrobiodiversity over time and analyze the interplay between their various drivers. Specifically, I investigate how (e.g., choices, seed supply and sources of information) and why (e.g., values, insurance effects) farmers manage, maintain, and experiment with various crop varieties. During my Ph.D., I focused on wine-growing systemscharacterized by significant but underutilized diversity of grape varieties. I employ an interdisciplinary approach in ethnoecology, at the intersection of ecological, agronomical, social and human sciences. I use a wide range of methods, including long-term fieldwork, surveys, modeling (R cran), GIS, social network analysis, and the mixing of qualitative and quantitative data.

My Postdoctoral project (@ Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil) combines Macroecology and Conservation by focusing on the spatial (and temporal) patterns of abundance of vertebrates, especially of Neotropical amphibians and reptiles.


My other parallel research interests include (but are not limited to):

• understanding which traits make species more susceptible to extinction;
• understanding the drivers of misdirected amplexus of amphibians;
• testing the phylogenetic components of species ecology on their current and past distributions;
• documenting natural history of reptiles and amphibians

RESEARCH

My research is framed around a comparative exploration of the role of multiple environmental drivers in shaping species distributions and diversity at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Most of my research is structured on the combined use of ecoinformatics methods (statistical analysis of large data sets) and naturalist expertise to understand empirical patterns of community composition in space and time. My main active axes of research include :  

- functional biogeography of seabirds in the Southern ocean. I try to explain and predict the composition of seabird assemblages with spatial models calibrated with environmental factors, trophic interactions and species traits. The project relies on a large-scale bird counts protocol from ships and statistical model of multiple data types. See the C-BIRDS project and thesis(offer valid until 07/2024).

-  understanding spatial patterns of vertebrates distributions and assemblage compositions. Relying on various opportunistic or protocoled data sources at multiple spatial scales, I investigate the determinants of spatial patterns in vertebrate distributions and assemblage composition through spatial models based on proxies of historical and contemporary processes. See for instance he MALPOLONdatabase.

- Ecoacoustics and community ecology. Several active projects focus on the relationship between bird community composition and the characteristics of soundscapes at multiple spatial and temporal scales, in order to explore the acoustic environment in which species interact and its changes with current land-use and climatic dynamics. See the ACOUCENEproject (2022 - 2025, FRB/CESAB)

COLLABORATIVE WORK 

Most of my interactions with biodiversity stakeholders are focused on data analysis to answer questions relative to the monitoring of human impacts on biodiversity at a regional or landscape scale.

- Ecological data analysis. I am involved in initiatives to foster interactions between scientific and non scientific stakeholders with respect to data-based ecological monitoring and expertise. See the website of the CISSTATnetwork. 

- Analysis of land use influences on common bird assemblages in southern France. I investigate the impact of land use and habitats on the temporal dynamics of local bird assemblages with opportunistic and protocoled data (collaborations with the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux - PACA). 

- Faunistic road casualties. I work with the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux and the CEREMA to explain and predict spatial patterns in road casualites. We exploit jointly multiple sources of protocoled, non-protocoled and citizen science data to identify mortality hotspots and explanatory factors, with the final aim to inform public policies on the mitigation of traffic impact on vertebrates. See the final report of the COCPITT project (2020-2023).

 - Interacting imprints of climate change and land use on biodiversity. Using multiple taxa and scales, I investigate how species' responses to historical and present land use change interact with their responses to climate change. See the LANDBIO project (2022 - 2023, OFB - french ministry of ecology)

TEACHING

Most of my teaching activity is embedded within the program of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes.

- Data analysis for ecologist : a three-weeks course dedicated to biodiversity stakeholders, framed on the practical use of statistical methods and the R software in ecological monitoring. 

- Environmental law and policy : I drive a one-week course to introduce environmental public policies to scientific ecologists, involving speakers from various authorities and decision levels and practical training to improve students' written and verbal interactions with non-scientific stakeholders.

- Methods for ecological monitoring : a two-weeks course with Aurélien Besnard, mainly dedicated to master students and biodiversity stakeholders, to improve their skills and critical thinking in advanced numerical methods for ecology, including species distribution modeling, population dynamics, sampling design and analysis of diversity indices.

- Environmental changes and ecological science :I contribute to several courses on global changes and environmental monitoring. My teaching is focused on the interactions between science and society through several lenses including epistemology and governance / spatial planning.

Sujet : Identification de la kairomone attractive pour la guêpe de l’amande Eurytoma amygdali en vue de la mise au point du biocontrôle par piégeage massif.

Encadrement :

Directeur : Philippe Lucas (iEES Paris - équipe NEO)
Co-directeur :Michael Staudt (CEFE - CNRS - équipe FORECAST)

Financements : thèse CIFRE - Compagnie des amandes

Résumé :

Eurytoma amygdali Enderlein est un hymenoptère ravageur de l’amandier. La biologie de cet insecte est bien décrite. Il présente une seule génération annuelle. Les femelles pondent leurs œufs dans les jeunes amandes au printemps et la larve se développe dans le fruit qui reste accroché à l’arbre jusqu’au printemps suivant. L’émergence des adultes s’étale sur une période de 3-4 semaines en moyenne. Les femelles pondent 60 à 120 œufs, qu’elles soient accouplées ou non. Les femelles vierges engendrent des mâles alors que les femelles accouplées donnent des femelles. Pendant la ponte, la femelle dépose une phéromone anti-oviposition qui empêche les autres femelles de pondre dans une amande déjà infectée.

Les seuls moyens efficaces de lutte contre ce ravageur requièrent l’utilisation d'insecticides. Les recommandations de la réduction de leur utilisation nécessitent la recherche de méthodes alternatives de lutte contre cet insecte ravageur. Il n'existe à ce jour aucune méthode de biocontrôle efficace permettant un développement durable de la culture d'amandes biologiques en France.

L’objectif de ce projet de thèse est d’exploiter ces résultats en identifiant les kairomones responsables de l’attraction des femelles d’E. amygdali puis en élaborant un mélange attractif qui pourra servir ultérieurement pour un piégeage massif dans les vergers des femelles de ce ravageur.

Mon travail au CEFE sur la 1ère année de thèse sera de prélever, d'identifier et de quantifier les COV émis par les amandiers par des méthodes de GC-MS, PTR-MS et SPME en conditions contrôlées mais aussi naturelles. A partir de ces résultats, les deux dernières années de thèse auront lieu à l'INRAe Versailles pour identifier les COV détéctés par les femelles E. amygdali par EAG et GC-EAG, puis déterminer quels sont les COV ayant une activité kairomonale pour les femelles par olfactométrie.

Projet connexe :
Tout comme la kairomone, l’utilisation de phéromone anti-oviposition présente un fort potentiel pour lutter efficacement contre la guêpe de l’amandier. La caractérisation de cette phéromone pourra faire l'objet d'un sous-projet au sein de ma thèse.

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.

Lien : HDR Xavier Morin

Thèmes de recherche

(English follows)

Mes travaux cherchent à parvenir à une meilleure compréhension du déterminisme de la diversité végétale aux différentes échelles spatiales et temporelles, sa réponse aux changements futurs, et son rôle dans le fonctionnement des écosystèmes forestiers. En particulier, je cherche donc à comprendre et prédire comment la biodiversité des écosystèmes forestiers s’organise selon différentes échelles spatiales, comment elle sera modifiée par les changements globaux, et quelles en seront les conséquences sur le fonctionnement de ces écosystèmes. Pour ce faire j’essaie de développer une approche intégratrice basée sur les processus. Mes travaux se focalisent principalement sur les espèces d'arbres et arbustes. Pour mener à bien ces objectifs, j’utilise aussi bien des résultats issus d’expérimentation, d’observations le long de gradients écologiques in situ, et de modélisation.
