Research interests

I evaluated the influence of both abiotic (weather conditions; anthropic disturbance i. e. light pollution, repeated captures, exposure to fungicide; food availability) and biotic (parental age) conditions on robust and complementary individual ecophysiological markers (body condition, metabolic rate, basal and stress induced corticosterone levels, telomere length, and plumage quality) as well as on behavioural responses (such as foraging behaviour; personality i. e. neophobia, neophilia and open-field test; cognitive skills i. e. problem solving tests). By drawing the phenotypical diversity among given populations, this approach then helps me understand the population dynamics responses (i.e., temporal dynamics of breeding success, and survival rate notably). 

Altogether, it allows me emit appropriate conservation recommendations at the species level.
