Project: The human impact on seal populations in the islands of the Southern Seas
(volunteer internship, 2 months)

Humans have since long exploited their environment, including marine ecosystems and species. Given that this impact has occurred over a long period of time, a gradual accommodation to progressively impoverished ecosystems may result in its underestimation. The MORSE project investigates how historical data can contribute to quantifying past anthropogenic pressure on marine mammal communities, and the consequences for marine conservation and management. 

Many seal species have been overexploited for their skin and fat. At the end of 18th century, in particular, the discovery of new islands in high southern latitudes with important seal populations gave rise to a gold rush toward those archipelagos. Because many of these islands were pristine when first discovered, and this exploitation is in some cases reasonably well recorded, this provides an opportunity to understand the extent of human impacts on seal species.

The objective of this study was to review historical sources in order to infer what was the pre-exploitation distribution and abundance of seal population in the Southern Ocean islands, and hot it differs from the current levels.

Internship Project: The impact of human exploitation on the global distribution, abundance and behaviour of the Mediterranean monk seal, Monachus monachus

The impacts of humans on marine ecosystems started millennia ago, but because they happened gradually over very long periods and with little recorded evidence, their full scale has only recently begun to be understood. The MORSE project is reviewing historical and pre-historical records to quantify the full impact of humans on the abundances and distribution of marine mammal species, in order to inform future conservation strategies.

The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) was reportedly abundant across the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and in the adjacent Atlantic Ocean, congregating on open beaches for their reproduction. Exploited for millennia for its skin and oil, it has progressively declined to almost complete disappearance. Today, with less than 500 individuals remaining in just a few breeding colonies in remote caves, it is one of the rarest and most threatened mammal species on the planet, classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Nature Conservation.

The objective of this internship is to map and quantify the human impact on the distribution, population, and habitat selection of the Mediterranean monk seal. It is an interdisciplinary project at the interface between biological conservation and history.

M1: Persistance des comportements anti-prédateurs dans une population de cerfs à queue noire historiquement isolée de certains prédateurs.

Master 1 BEE - Université Montpellier 2

Durée : 4 mois.

Localisation : CEFE, 3ième étage, salle 306

Encadrants : Simon CHAMAILLE-JAMMES

Sujet:

Le système proie-prédateur a co-évolué pendant des millions d’années. Les proies ont acquis de nombreux comportements dits anti-prédateurs, qui ont comme but d’augmenter leur survie et leur reproduction. Ces comportements peuvent être dus à des prédispositions génétiques et ontogéniques mais aussi à un apprentissage. Quand les prédateurs disparaissent, cela entraine, en théorie, un relâchement de la sélection, et donc les comportements anti-prédateurs devraient disparaître.

L’étude se focalise sur la population des cerfs à queue noire (Odocoileus hemionus) de l’archipel d’Haida Gwaii (Colombie Britanique, Canada) qui ont été introduits, il y a une centaine d’année sur l’archipel qui ne contient aucun prédateur. Aujourd’hui, les cerfs ne montrent aucune vigilance envers les hommes. L’étude consiste à comprendre si les individus ont réellement perdu leurs comportements anti prédateur.
