About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher currently working on understanding and predicting the population-level responses of small carnivores to human activity.
My research uses quantitative approaches to study the behavioural, reproductive, and population ecology of wildlife populations to understand the implications of human-mediated environmental change for species management and conservation. My work has a strong emphasis on mechanisms of impact, using energetics and behaviour to predict the impacts of multiple stressors on wildlife populations.
Project outline
The DISCAR (DIS = disturbance, CAR = carnivores) project aims at providing an operational framework with analytical tools for assessing the impacts of human pressures on populations of small carnivores, and showcasing it with case studies in applied conservation. DISCAR will use small carnivores in French mainland and overseas territories as a case study to assess the population consequences or impacts of human pressures on animal populations.
