My research activities focus mainly on the evolutionary ecology, management and conservation of the guild of carnivorous mammals. My main aim is to understand how wild carnivore populations respond to and adapt to anthropogenic disturbance, using an evidence-based conservation approach. Whether through the development of new methodological approaches or the application of existing methods in population genetics/genomics, spatial ecology, population dynamics, behavioural ecology or interspecific analysis, the impact of anthropogenic disturbance is first described before seeking and proposing remedial measures, in particular for human-wildlife conflict. My current study models are the European mink, the otter, the polecat, the European wildcat and the Corsican wildcat in France. Internationally, I am carrying out projects in Mongolia on the Pallas cat, the snow leopard and the Gobi bear, as well as in Namibia on the African leopard. If you are interested in these projects, please contact me to discuss the possibility of joining my group!
