My profile lies at the interface between scientific research and management in the field of ecology. My subjects of study mainly concern ecology of large predators (wolf, jaguar, lynx) but also of fauna linked to agriculture landscapes (Eurasian hamster, bee). The tools I use are derived from biostatistics and mainly from modelling: point process methods, individual-based modelling, spatial capture-recapture, occupancy, kernel density estimation.

Project outline

I am interested in the effects of culling of gray wolves (Canis lupus) on depredations (i.e. attacks on livestock) and on the social and spatial structure of the French wolf population.
