Appointment/ professional experience

Post- doctorate position, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. April 2005- April
2006. “Impact of climate change and fisheries on wandering albatross and emperor
penguin demography”.

Post- doctorate position, Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé and Centre National
de la Recherche Scientifique, Villiers en Bois, France. April- June; September- February
2005. “ Demography of cory’s shearwater (Calonectris diomedea ).” directed by Dr. V.
Bretagnolle.

Teaching assistant, Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé: Courses in population
ecology, biodiversity dynamics and the ecological effects of climate change for graduate
and master students. 2005 – 2001.

Research assistant :
o Foraging ecology of Adélie penguin in Terre Adélie, Antarctica for the CEBC
TAAF research programs (n°394), directed by C. Bost. December 2005- February
2006.
o Demographic survey of seabirds in Terre Adélie, Antarctica for my PhD and the
CEBC TAAF research programs (n°109), directed by H. Weimerskirch. December
2003 – February 2002.
o Demographic survey of seabirds and fur seals in Kerguelen Islands for the CEBC
TAAF research programs (n° 109), directed by H. Weimerskirch. January – April
2002.
o Predation risk and departure behaviour in common guillemot chicks, habitat
selection in kittiwakes and population genetic structure in the seabirds tick,
directed by Dr. T. Boulinier and Dr K.D. McCoy. June-July 2000.
This has involved monitoring productivity and breeding phenology for most species and
censusing using standardized protocols: measuring chick growth parameters; colour -ringing for
longitudinal analyses of breeding and survival (common guillemot, kittiwake, most petrels and
penguins, skuas); satellite-tracking (wandering albatross, Adélie penguins); trapping and
measuring of breeding adults (mostly petrels and skuas); characterization of diet using
regurgitates (penguins); blood sampling (kittiwakes, penguins, shags, skuas, blue petrels and
fur seal); parasite sample (kittiwakes).
Research interests
I am very interested in the effect of environmental fluctuations and human induced impact on
the dynamics of population in the context of global changes (global warming and human
activities). I’m particularly excited by capture-recapture approaches in conjunction with matrix
models. I’m mainly fascinated by polar regions, where the ecological effects of global warming
are expected to be stronger.
