- Research topics and activities
My research work addresses two main research axes: (1) information gathering and use by individuals for decision-making, and (2) determinism, ontogeny and consequences of dispersal. These research themes are conducted via numerous national and international collaborations (Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Canada). My research work is mainly based upon empirical and experimental data collected on several wild passerine bird populations populations during field work each year.
- Axe de recherche 1 : Information et prises de décision individuelles
- A – Le rôle du succès reproducteur local, ou « information publique », dans la sélection de l’habitat de reproduction
- B – Acquisition des informations : les comportements de prospection
- C – L’utilisation d’informations pour ajuster les stratégies de reproduction
- D – Signaux et communication
- Axe de recherche 2 : Déterminisme, ontogénie et conséquences de la dispersion
- A – Ressemblance intra-famille dans le comportement de dispersion et conséquences
- B – Rôle relatif des effets génétiques, parentaux, environnementaux dans le déterminisme de la dispersion
- C – Stratégies de reproduction associées à la dispersion
- D – Caractérisation de la dynamique d’une population fragmentée
- E – Dispersion et adaptation locale dans un système hôte-parasite
- Autres travaux de recherche
- A – Mécanismes physiologiques de la sénescence
- B – Estimation des conséquences de mesure de conservation sur les traits d’histoire de vie et comportementaux dans une population réintroduite
- C – La modulation des effets des parasites sur la reproduction par le biais des conditions environnementales

My research work has... ayant conduit ces dernières années à la récolte de nombreuses données expérimentales sur mes populations d’étude, je dispose de jeux de données qui peuvent être exploités au cours de stages de M2 recherche, sur des thèmes tels que le déterminisme de la dispersion, l’utilisation d’information dans le choix de l’habitat, les signaux de communication entre parents et jeunes, les décisions de reproduction… Si vous êtes intéressé par un stage de M2 sur l’un de ces thèmes, n’hésitez pas à me joindre par e-mail pour en discuter. Attention toutefois : la durée des stages de M2 et les contraintes temporelles ne permettent pas d’envisager de participer au travail de terrain pour la récolte des données. Il s’agit donc d’analyser des données déjà récoltées. Si vous souhaitez combiner une participation au travail de terrain suivie d’une phase d’analyse des données, il faut alors envisager de faire un stage sur le terrain l’année précédent le M2.
