PhD project: Understanding species sensitivity and resilience to anthropic habitat change
Supervisor: Ana Rodrigues (CEFE-CNRS)
Project outline
In the context of human-induced habitat changes, species exhibit a wide range of responses. While some studies have attempted to explain this diversity in sensitivity, the traits identified as being associated with high sensitivity often have low predictive value, and very few of them considered potential variation among species. My PhD seeks to advance our understanding of the intra- and inter-specific causes and mechanisms underlying these varied responses. This work has also clear conservation implications : understanding how species respond to human pressures is critical for guiding policies.
This work relies entirely on eBird data. eBird is one of the largest biodervisty-related citizen science platforms, hosting more than a billion bird observations throughout the world.
