    Sexual selection and the evolution of female ornaments:A study of female plumage colouration using comparative analyses and long-term data sets from blue tit populationDSC 6152 069s

    Supervisors:  Claire Doutrelant and Arnaud Grégoire

    Topic: My thesis focused on understanding the contribution of sexual selection in the evolution and maintenance of conspicuous colourations in female birds. 

    A first part tested how paternal care and female reproductive costs drove the evolution of female plumage colouration in songbirds, by the mean of a comparative study using spectrometry, avian visual models and life-history traits (Fargevieille et al. In prep).

     

    In a second part, a long-term project data set onblue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) was used to test hypotheses related to the evolution of female ornamentation. Ten years of plumage colouration, from four populations were used to assess the evopairbluetitslution of female ornaments. Genetic correlation (Charmantier et al. 2017), relationships between colouration and survival rate or reproductive success (unpublished) were tested by the means of quantitative genetics, CMR analyses and within-study meta-analyses. Quantification of the degree of assortative mating at the population level - considering spatio-temporal variation - was also tested (Fargevieilleet al. 2017). It led to a more thorough study at the individual level trying to understand factors underlying assortative mating in ourpopulations (Fargevieille et al. In prep.).

    My research focuses on movement ecology: I study the factors influencing animal movements (especially dispersal) and gene flow, with a particular emphasis on landscape composition and structure. I also study how human-triggered landscape modifications like fragmentation affect animal movements; and the consequences on population functioning and structure. My research is hence tightly linked to the management/conservation of populations, and to landscape management (e.g. connectivity restoration, french Trame Verte et Bleue policy).

    My research is centered in the theoretical framework of evolutionary ecology, population biology and behavioural ecology. My projects aim at understanding life history variation in order to determine the adaptive and evolutionary processes that explain and maintain animal diversity. I´m particularly interested by three kinds of life history traits linked to behavior: cooperation, animal communication and maternal invesment. I'm mainly using birds as biological models. I'm mainly using empirical methods, including large-scale experiments and analyses of long-term data sets on different populations of passerine birds in the field.

    I'm currently working on four main projects. 1) Evolution of colour ormentation in birds(with a special focus on female coloration and blue tits) 2) the cause and life history traits consequences of cooperation in sociable weavers ; 3) Sexual and social evolution on islands, and 4) the evolution of weaver nests. I'm also part of  the art-science project Obô.

    * Evolution of female colour ornementation

    In this project we use a combination of empirical and comparative approaches to address three fundamental questions on sexual and social selection in both monomorphic species and dimorphic species in which females present conspicuous traits. Our questions are the following (i) Are female conspicuous traits under sexual /social selection ? (ii) Do female conspicuous traits reflect female quality and which mechanisms maintain signal honesty? (iii) What are the population consequences of female signalling and mutual sexual selection.

     * Evolution of plumage ornement in space and time

    Selection often varies in space and time and long-term research that spans broad spatial scales is needed to understand the factors driving phenotypic variation and to assess the links between traits and fitness.  To assess the importance of spatiotemporal variation  and its consequences on selection estimates, we collected data on two study systems: (i) the blue tit (yellow and UV-blue colorationsmeasured by spectrophotometry since 2005, 600 birds measured each year); (ii) the  size of the sociable weaver melanin patch  since 2010 (the bib patch is photographied each year on 400 individuals)

    The project aims at understanding the fitness bases of cooperation and the consequences of cooperation for population dynamics through its effects on reproductive output, survival and dispersal. Our study model is an endemic passerine bird from southern African passerine. This bird is a cooperative breeder. In cooperatively breeding species, mature individuals called ‘helpers’ assist the breeding pairs by bringing additional food to the nest. We work on the evolution of different cooperative behaviours – cooperative breeding, nest building and predator mobbing and on the relationship between cooperation, fitness, dispersal and long-term population dynamics.

    Currently our project has two main aims: (i) determining whether sexual or social selection play a role in the evolution of cooperation and thus the role of partner choice ; (ii) determining  how presence / absence of co-operators affects maternal effects and parental investments

      3- Evolution on islands

    Islands are unique ecosystems sharing a distinctive set of characteristics that make them particularly interesting to study adaptation by organisms. The isolation and reduced area of islands result in simplified ecological ecosystems and an impoverished fauna that are expected to lead to convergent patterns of adaptation (the ‘insularity syndrome’). Our aim is to establish, using comparative work , whether island birds worldwide display such convergent shift for ornamentation, songs, behaviour and morphology. Then we aim at determining which factors lead to those changes and are particularly interested by the role of parasitism and interspecific competition. We worked on data collected in natural history museum and in the field (Sao Tome, Madeira, Gabon, Cameroun).

Cape Town) , Staffan Andersson(Univ.  Gothenburg), Fanny Rybak(Univ. Paris Sud), Doris Gomez(CEFE), Paul Dufour (Univ. Grenoble), Pietro d'Amelio (Post doc)

    Our aim is to work on one of the most spectacular and diverse radiations of extended phenotypes, the intricate and complex nest architectures of weaverbirds (family Ploceidae, 117 species in 16 genera), varying from the exquisite lace-like Malimbusnests to the rough thatch of the communally built sociable weaver nests . Our central aim is to investigate the role of sexual selection on the evolution and diversification of i) nest architecture (the extended phenotype) and ii) nest building behaviour (a potential associated display) and, for both traits, to determine how they relate to the classic ornaments in this group – striking colours, songs, and flight displays.

     THEMES DE RECHERCHE

    Mes thèmes de recherche concernent la phylogénie, la phylogéographie et l'évolution moléculaire à partir de l'analyse des séquences de gènes mitochondriaux et nucléaires. L’objectif est de répondre, à l’aide de l’outil moléculaire, à des questions de biodiversité et systématique évolutive à l’échelle des vertébrés (mammifères, amphibiens et reptiles). Je m’intéresse aussi à l’échelle temporelle (datations moléculaires) des différents niveaux de diversifications ce qui permet de confronter les inférences moléculaires avec les données morphologiques, paléontologiques et biogéographiques.

    PhD candidate - Migratory landbirds conservation

    I am a PhD candidate using tracking data to inform conservation of African-Eurasion migratory landbirds, storks and  raptors.
    The persistent decline observed in migratory bird populations over recent decades highlights the urgent need to improve our scientific understanding of the drivers behind this trend. This comprehension is crucial to support international policies impacting the conservation of these birds across national, European, and inter-continental levels.
    The project results from collaboration between the CEFE, the CIBIO and BirdLife International.

  • Interactions Humains Animaux

    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.

    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.

    -  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). 

    - Wildlife 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.

    I’m a PhD student interested in animal behaviour and cognition, and how they translate into the spatial and demographic dynamics of populations. During my PhD, I focus on the interplay between individual movements and the dynamics of population networks through two case studies: 1) migratory connectivity and its relationship with the demography of migratory populations; 2) informed dispersal and its implications for the structuring and the stability of larid colonies. Linking individual and population-level processes leads me to draw on methods from both behavioural ecology and population biology.

    Project

    The objective of this PhD project is to better understand how wild populations of great tits and blue tits are affected by urbanization and what mechanisms are involved in the observed phenotypic differences between urban and forest populations. This study will rely on the long-term population monitoring in urban and forest habitats established in Montpellier (CEFE TIT PROJECT) , as well as on comparative analyses with the city of Paris. The thesis will particularly explore physiological aspects that have not been studied thus far. Given the characteristics of the urban environment, which is more stressful and has higher temperatures, physiological adaptations to urban life are expected to be observed. Variations in the endocrine system between urban and forest environments will be studied, focusing on stress and reproductive hormones. Additionally, aspects of respirometry will be investigated, with the primary question being: do urban birds have a metabolism pre-adapted to high temperatures due to living in an urban heat island effect environment? In a second part, the project aims to dissect how urban phenotypic shifts are driven by genetic change or plasticity. To study this aspect, common garden experiments have been set up. Data from individuals raised under similar environmental conditions can be compared to wild individuals, thus observing whether phenotypic differences between urban and forest habitats are maintained or not.

    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.
