Biography
Long-lived predatory birds ecology, demography and movement
I am interested in the population dynamics of long-lived (seabirds and raptors). I study how demography and behavioural mechanisms such as movement are influenced by inter- and intraspecific relationships and the environment (climate, weather, habitat). The aim of my PhD thesis is to investigate the relationship between individual movement and demographic variability in the French population of the Bonelli's eagle (Aquila fasciata).
My research aims to explore the complex interplay of individual heterogeneity, response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, behaviour and demographic parameters on population dynamics. I explore these different relationships by trying to link different ecological approaches such as demography and behavioural ecology. I'm particularly interested in better understanding how individual heterogeneity in terms of intrinsic factors, behaviour and response to environmental conditions and pressures might affect population dynamics.
I'm fascinated by birds and their ecology and would like to specialise in the study of long-lived predatory birds, as there are good models to understand long-term processes and population dynamics.
I also have a great interest in modelling ecology, such as CMR model, Integrated Population Model (IPM) and Bayesian frameworks, and would like to work on frameworks and models that allow a better consideration of individual heterogeneity.
