My work within the UMR DECOD team is focused on characterizing the interactions between fishing activities, environmental factors in a global change context and high trophic-level species (marine mammals, teleosts and elasmobranchs, seabirds…).
Understanding these interactions is a task that requires to concentrate on several study levels. More specifically, my research aims at :
- - - Revealing feeding strategies, spatio-temporal patterns of distribution and habitat use at the individual scale, along with the factors behind their variations.
- - Studying marine predators’ vulnerability to fisheries activities and other stressors, and understanding the long-term population-level impacts.
- Identifying the changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity at the multi-species level.
- - At the socioecosystem scale, contributing to the evaluation and theoretical suitability of management practices to help reduce negative interactions between fisheries and marine predators.
To that end, I am using a panel of disciplinary fields merging mainly quantitative and behavioural ecology, but also population genetics, environmental genomics, feeding ecology and marine spatial planning.
