Ma définition préférée de l’écologie est celle donnée par l’écologue américain renommé, G. Evelyn Hutchinson, au début de son cours séminaire en écologie à l’Université de Yale : « Aux fins de ce cours, nous pouvons considérer l'écologie comme l'étude de l'univers. » Formé d’abord à l’étude des interactions entre plantes et animaux dans les écosystèmes tropicaux, j’applique maintenant l’écologie évolutive à des systèmes couplés humains/nature. J’étudie comment l’évolution des plantes sous la domestication est façonnée par les pratiques agricoles en interaction avec la sélection naturelle, utilisant le manioc et d’autres plantes propagées par voie clonale comme systèmes modèles. J’étudie aussi les interactions entre humains et écosystèmes, particulièrement dans les savanes tropicales saisonnièrement inondées, comparant des systèmes de subsistance en Afrique (systèmes actuels) et en Amérique du Sud (vestiges de systèmes précolombiens) pour étudier des convergences dans la construction culturelle de la niche. Ces études comparatives enrichissent réciproquement l’archéologie et l’ethnoécologie.

Mes intérêts variés et ma volonté de traverser les frontières disciplinaires pour trouver des réponses à des questions aux multiples facettes m'ont amené à collaborer avec des spécialistes dans de nombreux domaines différents, notamment la phytochimie, la génétique, la géographie, l'agronomie, les sciences du sol, l'ethnobiologie, l'archéologie et l’anthropologie. J'ai publié dans des revues de premier plan dans tous ces domaines. Mon travail a été reconnu par plusieurs prix, dont le Grand Prix Recherche (la plus haute distinction décernée par la Société Française d'Ecologie et d'Evolution), la reconnaissance en tant qu'Ethnobotaniste Distingué par le Royal Botanic Garden (Kew, Royaume-Uni) et un prix Cozzarelli décerné par l’Académie National des Sciences des États-Unis pour un article exceptionnel publié dans la revue PNAS.

En plus de leur diversité thématique, mes recherches ont également privilégié la diversité géographique à la spécialisation régionale. J'ai mené des recherches dans 15 pays différents en Afrique tropicale, en Asie et en Amérique du Sud et j'ai donné des cours sur le terrain dans six pays supplémentaires. J'utilise cette expérience dans les études comparatives sur le terrain et les synthèses qui ont été parmi mes contributions de recherche les plus importantes.

My favorite definition of ecology is that given by the distinguished American ecologist G. Evelyn Hutchinson at the beginning of his ecology seminar course at Yale : « For the purposes of this course, we may consider ecology to be the study of the universe. » Trained in the study of plant/animal interactions in tropical ecosystems, I now apply an evolutionary-ecological approach to coupled human and natural systems. I study how plant evolution under domestication is shaped by human agricultural practices and natural selection, using manioc and other clonally propagated crops as model systems. I also study interactions between humans and ecosystems, particularly in seasonal tropical wetlands, comparing subsistence systems in Africa (present-day) and South America (pre-Columbian vestiges) to study convergent patterns in cultural niche construction. These comparative studies cross-fertilize both archaeology and ethnoecology.

My broad-ranging interests, and a willingness to cross disciplinary boundaries to seek answers to many-faceted questions, have led me to collaborate with specialists in many different fields, including phytochemistry, genetics, geography, agronomy, soil science, ethnobiology, archaeology and anthropology. I have published in top-tier journals in all these fields. My work has been recognized by several awards, including the Grand Prix Recherche (the highest honor conferred by the French Society for Ecology and Evolution), recognition as Distinguished Ethnobotanist by the Royal Botanic Garden (Kew, UK) and a Cozzarelli Prize awarded by the US National Academy of Sciences for an outstanding paper published in the journal PNAS.

In addition to its thematic diversity, my research has also favored geographic diversity over regional specialization. I have conducted research in 15 different countries in tropical Africa, Asia and South America and have taught field courses in six additional countries. I use this experience in the comparative field studies and syntheses that have been among my most important research contributions.

TEXTE DETAILLE SUR MES RECHERCHES

Dans un nouveau projet, je reviens à des questions de recherche qui m'ont intriguée durant mon travail de doctorat et qui n'ont toujours pas trouvé de réponses : comment les défenses chimiques contre les herbivores et les pathogènes sont-elles réparties dans les graines des plantes tropicales, et comment les défenses changent-elles au cours de la transition de la graine à la plantule ? Une graine n'est pas une « partie d’une plante » mais une plante embryonnaire dont les différentes parties ont des exigences de défense différentes et des contraintes différentes dans le déploiement des défenses. Cependant, la distribution des défenses dans différentes parties des graines a rarement été étudiée. De plus, la théorie suggère que les défenses mobiles devraient jouer des rôles importants dans la défense des graines, mais celles-ci ont été négligées dans les études comparatives multi-espèces, par rapport aux défenses immobiles telles que les tanins et les défenses mécaniques (fibres, etc.), car leur diversité entre les espèces fait que ces études comparatives sont difficiles. Enfin, la façon dont les défenses chimiques changent au cours de l'ontogenèse végétale est une frontière active dans la recherche sur l'écologie évolutive de la défense des plantes, mais une transition ontogénétique cruciale, celle de la graine à la plantule, a été peu étudiée. Grâce à une bourse Talent de l'Académie des sciences de la Chine, j'étudierai ces questions en collaboration avec un chimiste (Gregory Genta-Jouve, Univ. Paris Descartes) et avec des collègues du Jardin botanique tropical de Xishuangbanna (Yunnan, Chine), où les installations (serre et laboratoire) permettront d'étudier un grand nombre d'espèces.

Auparavant, j'ai étudié les interactions interspécifiques dans les écosystèmes tropicaux, à la fois antagonistes (défenses chimiques des plantes, interactions des plantes avec les herbivores mammifères et insectes, théorie de la défense optimale, écologie chimique) et mutualistes (la pollinisation et la dispersion et des graines par les animaux, mutualismes symbiotiques plantes / fourmis), utilisant mes systèmes d'étude pour étudier un large éventail de questions générales en écologie et évolution. Le travail de mon équipe sur les mutualismes symbiotiques entre plantes et fourmis a développé une perspective comparative sur l'écologie évolutive de ces mutualismes, et nos revues à ce sujet (Davidson & McKey, 1993, Journal of Hymenoptera Research; Heil & McKey 2003 ; Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics; Blatrix et al. 2014, New Phytologist) sont les articles de synthèse les plus cités dans le domaine. Bien qu'une grande partie de mon travail actuel se concentre sur les interactions entre les humains et les environnements qu'ils occupent, je continue d'être fermement ancré dans l'écologie évolutive fondamentale de pointe, une source importante de nouvelles idées à appliquer pour étudier les interactions entre les humains, d'autres organismes et les environnements qu'ils partagent.

Mon travail sur la domestication des plantes, axé sur les plantes domestiquées à propagation clonale, a inclus l'écologie, la biologie évolutive (génétique, phylogéographie, phylogénie), l'anthropologie et l'agronomie. Le travail de mon équipe sur l'écologie évolutive de la domestication du manioc a transformé notre vision de l'évolution sous domestication dans les cultures à propagation clonale, montrant comment les pratiques agricoles des agriculteurs qui ont domestiqué ces cultures conduisent à des systèmes reproducteurs mixtes clonaux / sexués dont la dynamique est beaucoup plus complexe qu’a été pensé auparavant (McKey et al. 2010, New Phytologist).

Dans nos travaux sur l'écologie culturelle des plaines inondables des savanes tropicales, dans le passé et le présent, je collabore avec des archéologues, des archéobotanistes, des géographes, des pédologues, des écologues et des spécialistes de la télédétection. Ces études ont montré comment les humains et les animaux ingénieurs du sol co-construisent des paysages (McKey et al. 2010, PNAS) et comment les comparaisons intercontinentales révèlent à la fois la convergence et la singularité dans la construction de niches culturelles (McKey et al.2016, PNAS ; Blatrix et al. 2018 , Scientific Reports). Ces travaux jettent un nouvel éclairage sur l'écologie historique de l'Amazonie, sur l'agriculture actuelle des zones humides en Afrique et sur l'écologie dans les environnements des plaines inondables tropicales. Nous étudions actuellement la diversité des systèmes agricoles des prairies dans les régions tropicales actuelles de l'Ancien Monde pour comprendre comment l'agriculture sur champs surélevés –et d'autres types possibles d'agriculture—dans les savanes néotropicales peut avoir fonctionné à l’époque précolombienne.

DETAILED TEXT ON MY RESEARCH

In a new project, I am returning to research questions that intrigued me during my PhD work and that still have not found answers: How are chemical defenses against herbivores and pathogens distributed in the seeds of tropical plants, and how do defenses change in the transition from seed to seedling? A seed is not a ‘plant part’ but an embryonic plant whose different parts have different defense requirements and different constraints in deploying defences. However, distribution of defences in different parts of seeds has rarely been studied. Furthermore, theory suggests that mobile defenses should play important roles in seed defense, but these have been neglected in multi-species comparative studies, compared to immobile defences such as tannins and mechanical defences (fiber,..), because their diversity among species makes such comparative studies difficult. Finally, how chemical defenses change over plant ontogeny is an active frontier in research on the evolutionary ecology of plant defense, but a crucial ontogenetic transition, that from seed to seedling, has been little studied. With a Talent grant from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I will study these questions in collaboration with a chemist (Gregory Genta-Jouve, Univ. Paris Descartes) and with colleagues at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (Yunnan, China), where greenhouse and laboratory facilities will allow study of a large number of species.

Previously, I have studied interspecies interactions in tropical ecosystems, both antagonistic (plant chemical defenses, interactions of plants with mammalian and insect herbivores, optimal defense theory, chemical ecology) and mutualistic (seed dispersal and pollination by animals, symbiotic ant/plant mutualisms), using my study systems to investigate a wide range of general questions in ecology and evolution. The work of my team on symbiotic ant-plant mutualisms has developed a comparative perspective on the evolutionary ecology of these mutualisms, and our reviews of this subject (Davidson & McKey, 1993, Journal of Hymenoptera Research; Heil & McKey 2003, Annual Revew of Ecology, Evolution and Systematic ; Blatrix et al. 2014, New Phytologist) are the most widely cited review articles in the field. Although much of my current work is focused on interactions between humans and the environments they occupy, I continue to be firmly grounded in state-of-the-art fundamental evolutionary ecology, an important source of new insights to apply in studying the interactions among humans, other organisms and the environments they share.

My work on plant domestication, focusing on clonally propagated domesticated plants, has included ecology, evolutionary biology (genetics, phylogeography, phylogeny), anthropology and agronomy. My team’s work on the evolutionary ecology of domestication of manioc has transformed our views of evolution under domestication in clonally propagated crops, showing how agricultural practices of the farmers who domesticated these crops leads to mixed clonal/sexual reproductive systems whose dynamics are much more complex than was previously thought (McKey et al. 2010, New Phytologist).

In our work on the cultural ecology of tropical savanna floodplains, past and present, I collaborate with archaeologists, archaeobotanists, geographers, soil scientists, ecologists and specialists in remote sensing. These studies have shown how humans and soil engineer animals co-construct landscapes (McKey et al. 2010, PNAS) and how intercontinental comparisons reveal both convergence and singularity in cultural niche construction (McKey et al. 2016, PNAS ; Blatrix et al. 2018, Scientific Reports). This work is shedding new light on the historical ecology of Amazonia, on present-day wetland agriculture in Africa, and on ecology in floodplain savanna environments throughout the tropics. We are currently studying the diversity of grassland-farming systems in the present-day Old-World tropics to understand how raised-field agriculture in Neotropical floodplain savannas—and possible other kinds of agriculture in upland savannas of South America—may have functioned in pre-Columbian times.

Notre équipe travaille sur les interactions entre humains et animaux selon une approche interdisciplinaire qui tient explicitement compte de leurs caractéristiques biologiques, comportementales, sociales et culturelles. Nous nous intéressons en particuliers aux questions de gestion de la faune sauvage et des animaux domestiques en interaction avec les activités humaines. Nous évoluons le long d’un gradient qui va de la conception et de la mise en place de protocoles d’échantillonnage, l’étude de la dynamique et de la distribution des populations, l'étude des savoirs écologiques, des perceptions et des pratiques des acteurs impliqués dans la gestion, jusqu’aux recommandations de gestion et la contribution aux processus de prise de décision et d’élaboration ou d’évaluation de politiques publiques de gestion et de conservation de la nature.

Afin d’étudier la dynamique des populations sauvages nous développons des méthodes et outils statistiques. La plupart de nos travaux s’inscrivent en biologie et géographie de la conservation. Ceux-ci cherchent à développer des interfaces entre spécialistes en statistiques et gestionnaires d’aires protégées ou conservationnistes pour mieux étudier l’évolution des paramètres démographiques et populationnels des espèces et ainsi définir des politiques de protection, de prélèvement et de gestion plus adaptées.

Nos travaux mobilisent également des approches et méthodes sociologiques, ethnologiques et de géographie humaine afin de mieux comprendre les relations entre humains et animaux. Nous étudions les savoirs écologiques et éthologiques des populations locales et les rétroactions entre dynamiques de population, écologie spatiale et géographie animale selon les perceptions et pratiques des chasseurs, éleveurs, bergers, agriculteurs, gestionnaires d’aires protégées et environnementalistes.

A partir de l’analyse des controverses sociopolitiques ou dans le cadre de projets de recherche-action relatifs à la gestion de populations gibiers, des dégâts liés au gibier ou aux grands prédateurs, de populations d’espèces menacées, nous explorons dans différents contextes socio-écologiques, comment l’écologie et les comportements des animaux domestiques et sauvages façonnent les relations des humains avec ces animaux et les réseaux de relations complexes et dynamiques entre acteurs humains ; et comment en retour ces relations façonnent l’écologie et les comportements animaux dans le temps et l’espace.

Notre équipe a ainsi une activité fortement interdisciplinaire, croisant l’écologie, la géographie, l’ethnologie, la statistique et la modélisation mathématique et multi-agents spatialisée ou non. Nous réalisons une approche critique de nos approches interdisciplinaires et conduisons une réflexion spécifique de longue haleine sur l’interface science/gestion et l’efficacité des politiques publiques. Nous nous impliquons dans de nombreuses missions de conseil scientifiques auprès des services de l’Etat, des gestionnaires d’aires protégées, des organismes locaux, régionaux et internationaux en liens avec la gestion, l’exploitation et la conservation de la faune sauvage. Nous enseignons dans des masters et spécialisations de plusieurs Grandes Ecoles et Universités, en France principalement. Enfin, nous organisons régulièrement des formations spécifiques pour le milieu socio-professionnel des gestionnaires de la nature, les étudiants et les chercheurs.

Nous entretenons de solides partenariats de long terme avec des acteurs publics (OFB, ex. AFB et ONCFS, Parcs Nationaux), para-publics (CBN, ONF, Réserves naturelles de France, Fédération des Parcs naturels régionaux) et privés (bureaux d’étude, zoos, associations). Partant du constat que nos doctorant.e.s et post-doctorant.e.s ne trouveront pas tou.te.s un poste académique, nous entretenons des liens étroits avec le milieu non-académique dans le souci de leur intégration professionnelle.

Les trois axes qui structurent l’équipe sont :

Axe 1 : gestion des populations animales exploitées

Modèles d’étude : ongulés (sangliers) et oiseaux.

Partenariat fort avec OFB (ex. ONCFS/AFB) et Fédérations départementales de chasseurs   

Axe 2 : gestion des populations de grands mammifères

Grands carnivores (ours, loup, lynx) et cétacés (grands dauphins)

Partenariat avec fort ONCFS, FDC, associations

Axe 3 : formation

Outre l’enseignement académique classique dans lequel nous sommes investis, notre équipe a une activité conséquente dans la formation sous forme d’ateliers pour l’OFB, les bureaux d’étude, la formation continue et les collègues universitaires. Ces formations ont clairement une forte composante de transfert soit des méthodes de modélisation mathématique et d’analyses statistiques de données de sciences écologiques ou humaines, soit des méthodes d’intégration des sciences humaines et sociales avec l’écologie dans des dispositifs interdisciplinaires de recherche ou de recherche-action dans le contexte des interactions humains/animaux ou aires protégées/non protégées.

D'abord formé à la biologie et à l'écologie, je me suis ensuite tourné vers l'ethnologie dont j'ai adopté et adapté les méthodes afin de mieux comprendre les relations entre humains et animaux, notamment à travers l'étude des savoirs écologiques et éthologiques des populations locales.

J'essaye ainsi de comprendre comment ces savoirs se construisent en interaction avec des animaux dont l'écologie et le comportement sont par ailleurs influencés par les pratiques humaines. Jusqu'à présent je me suis principalement intéressé aux relations entre humains et grands prédateurs (ours, loups, lynx) en me focalisant sur les savoirs, les perceptions et les pratiques des chasseurs, des éleveurs et des bergers.

J'ai également étudié le rôle du chien dans les relations entre humains et loups, ce qui me pousse à poursuivre l'investigation du rôle d'animaux que je qualifie d'"intermédiaires" dans les relations entre humains et grands prédateurs. L'écologie et le comportement d'autres espèces domestiques comme sauvages semblent en effet pouvoir influencer les relations que l'homme entretient avec les grands prédateurs au travers de réseaux de relations qu'il est nécessaire d'appréhender dans toute leur complexité et de manière dynamique.

C'est pourquoi je m'intéresse particulièrement aux pays dits en transition (Kirghizstan, République de Macédoine, Bulgarie, Pologne) ainsi qu'aux changements de paysage en Europe. Les relations entre loups, chiens et élevage me poussent également à m'intéresser au temps long en remontant jusqu'à la période de domestication du chien.

D'un point de vue plus théorique, mes recherches peuvent alimenter différents débats en anthropologie de la nature et questionner la séparation entre humains et animaux, entre nature et culture, et entre sauvage et domestique. Elles peuvent également aider à construire un point de vue critique sur des mouvements contemporains comme les mouvements de conservation, de réensauvagement, de libération animale, etc.

Mots clefs : ethno-écologie ; relations homme-animal ; savoirs locaux ; savoirs scientifiques ; pastoralisme ; élevage ; domestication ; chasse ; prédateurs ; ours ; loup ; lynx ; chien ; Kirghizstan ; Macédoine ; Pologne ; Bulgarie ; pays en transition ; paysage

After a university education in biology and ecology and a master training in environment, I made a PhD in Ethnoecology. I adopted an interdisciplinary approach based on ethnological methods to better understand human – animal relationships through an epistemological approach of local ecological knowledge and scientific knowledge. I try to grasp the way these knowledge are built in interactions with animal populations as well as the way human practices are influencing animal behaviour and ecology.

I notably studied relationships between humans and large carnivores (wolves, bears, lynx, and jaguars), focusing on livestock herders and hunters’ knowledge, perceptions and practices associated with these animals. This drove me to be interested in the role of what can be qualified as “intermediate animals” between humans and large carnivores.

Indeed the behaviour of dogs, game animals and livestock appears to have an impact on the relationships between humans and large carnivores through complex networks of relationships that need to be apprehended in their complexity and in a dynamic way. That’s the reason why I am notably interested in countries in transition such as countries from the former USSR or former Yugoslavia, as well as regions undergoing landscape changes like mountainous regions from Western Europe.

The relationships between wolves, dogs and livestock also drove me to be interested in human – animal relationships on the long term, going back to domestication of dogs and stock animals.

On a theoretical point of view, my studies can feed various debates in anthropology of nature and question the separation between humans and animals, between nature and culture and between wild and domestic. They can also help to build a critical point of view on contemporary movements such as various conservation movements, rewilding, animal liberation, etc.

Elle a mené au cours des dix dernières années, des travaux sur la domestication des arbres et l’agrobiodiversité en Méditerranéenne. .

Director of Research at CNRS

Yildiz Aumeeruddy-Thomas' work examines the relationships between societies and biodiversity, and nature more broadly. As an anthropologist and ecologist, her work lies at the crossroads of these two disciplines. Having worked in a number of the planet's major biomes - tropical rainforests, the Himalayan high mountains and the Mediterranean - over the last 35 years, she is interested both in the diversity of the interfaces between nature and culture, and in the common features that characterise human societies and their experiences with living beings. Keenly aware of today's major environmental issues, she is involved in the dialogue between science and policy, notably at IPBES as author of the Global Assessment (2019). Over the last ten years, she has been working on the domestication of trees and agrobiodiversity in the Mediterranean.

Research Themes

(1) Synergies between local and scientific knowledge for a deeper understanding of social-ecological systems

My thesis in Sumatra under the Direction of Francis Hallé (Tropical Botanist) and the guidance of Claudine Friedberg (Antropologist, specialised in Indonesian societies) gave me the opportunity to study the relationships between the Kerinci people and their highly complex agroforestry systems, comprising hundreds of trees, domesticated and wild, with multiple material and symbolic values that integrate tubers, spicy species, medicinals and magic species, all of which are intricately linked to the Kerinci people's life. The Kerinci people, would not have been very happy to speak with somebody that could not perceive the difference between a durian, a mangosteen, or the 22 varieties of bananas that they grew or even the 13 species of wild bambous that they encouraged to grow in the agroforests.  Fortunately I was trained in tropical botany and in ecology in Montpellier. However to understand such systems I also required to develop approaches in anthropology, and was highly encouraged by Claudine Friedberg and other anthropologists with whom I eagerly developed many exchanges. Adjoining the agroforestry systems, the ricefields were not less diverse, although seemingly very homogenous. Precisely, all the different varieties of traditional rice harmoniously matured at about the same time, thus preventing people from having to watch only withina short period, the birds that attack the ripe rice. Yet newly introduced varieties grew in different small and fragmented plots that ripened at different periods; they represented an easy prey for the birds, making the life of Kerinci people extremely difficult. They spent a huge amount of time protecting their precious staple food with a variety of strange sounds and mecanical systems to keep away the birds. My thesis was therefore a school in situ about the importance of agrobiodiversity, rythms of labor in an agrarian society and the necessity to look carefully in situ at the complexity of local social organizations as well as ecology. Multiple evidence approaches, giving a full attention to local knowledge through ethnographic studies while also using approaches to observe ecological phenomena is a prerequisite to develop our understanding of such social-ecological systems.

(2) Classifications and local ontologies: how to establish a dialogue between different actors in order to seek sustainable approaches

Since 1990, I have  studied ways different sociéties, the Kerinci people in Indonesia, the Dolpo people in Nepal, the Cevenols in France, the Jbala in Morocco and lately the Pantescans in Pantelleria, Sicily, classify living elements of nature, and also soils, winds, as well as non-tangible. These studies  are based on ethnographic data and fine and long periods of  field-based investigations, represent the means of understanding the basis of local knowledge systems and how local collective human groups classify and share knowledge about nature. Such approaches have led to a major result that is the overlapping of different classification systems within each of these societies, showing different relational  systems, that may vary according to professions, differentiations between symbolic and naturalist classifications. Classifications, as well as recording of myths and local stories, investigating memory and attachment, as well as ways a given society engage materially through practices with plants or other elements of nature, are the set of elements required to decipherhuman-nature  ontologies, i.e. principles that regulate the relationships between people and other elements of nature.

(3) Domestications past and on-going, dynamics of agroecosystems, agrobiodiversity and associated local knowledge and practices at landscape level ; associated multiple values

My work has focused since 2006 in the Mediterranean basin, on 'traditional' agroecosystems in northern Morocco and France and lately in Sicily. My focus on trees, especially in Morocco on olive (Olea europeae), almonds (Prunus dulcis) and figs (Ficus carica), as well as argan (Argania spinosa) has enabled to foster our understanding of ways people interact with a tree populations forming a continuum ranging  from wild parents, feral or escapees from agriculture, to domesticated landraces within local territories

(4) Dialogue between science and policy for the inclusion of local and indigenous knowledge and promotion of transformative changes within the context of global changes.
