Planning > Plenary speakersEcotoxicology and ecophysiology session
Dr. Carsten Brühl is a researcher at the Institute for Environmental Sciences, in the University of Coblence-Landau (Germany). More precisely he is part of the Ecotoxicology & Environment team and his works are on stressors in agricultural landscapes, with a focus on the effects of pesticides on terrestrial biodiversity. He’s also working on ecological aspects and biogeographic patterns of ants in South-East Asia.
Olivier Lourdais
Olivier Lourdais is a researcher at the "Ecophy" team of the Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé. Currently he is particularly interested in the thermal sensitivity of squamate reptiles. To this aim, he is studying their adaptation to climate change and maternal regulation of antenatal thermal conditions. Thus, his researches thematic are at the junction of conservation biology and evolutionary ecology. http://www.cebc.cnrs.fr/Fidentite/lourdais/lourdais.htm
Ecology of movement, Biologging session Dora Biro Dora Biro works at Oxford University in the OxNav group. She studies among other topics the navigational and spatial orientation capacities of domestic pigeons. To this end she performs homing experiments by releasing birds away from their roosting place, and analyses their homing strategies by means of GPS tags recording individuals’ path. She will present results on the influence of social interactions on these processes and on collective decision-making. http://www.zoo.ox.ac.uk/people/view/biro_d.htm
Christophe Guinet Christophe Guinet is a researcher at the Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé, interested in the effect of the oceanographic and climatic conditions on the foraging and resources allocation strategies on the top marine predators. His mains studies are about the impact of oceanography on their distribution, fishing performance and maternal investment, and about the bio-acquisition of oceanographic data, through marine mammals. http://www.cebc.cnrs.fr/Fidentite/guinet/guinet.htm
Populations structure and dynamics session Jon Aars Dr. Jon Aars is a senior research scientist at the Norwegian Polar Institute. His areas of expertise concern animal population demography and genetics and ecological evolution. Since 2003, he has worked on polar bear ecology (population dynamics, space use, population genetics, toxicology…) in Svalbard, Norway through a long-term monitoring using capture-recapture. http://www.npolar.no/en/people/jon.aars/
Amélia Viricel Amélia Viricel is a researcher at the LIENSs (Littoral, Environnement et Sociétés) in La Rochelle (France). Her main researches are on molecular ecology, and particularly the conservation genetics of marine species with high dispersion potential. She currently works on the effects of chemical pollution on the diversity of the bivalve Chlamys varia, and on the study of divergence among two allopatric subspecies of Commerson’s dolphins (Cephalorhynchus commersonii). http://lienss.univ-larochelle.fr/Viricel-Pante-Amelia
Interspecific interactions session Elisa Thébault Elisa Thébault is a researcher at the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Sciences in Paris. Her main research thematic is about the diversity and structure of interaction networks, and their impact on stability and ecosystem functioning. She is principally interested in the integration of different types of interactions, linking network structure, characters and ecosystem and the impact of of environmental changes on the structure of these networks. https://iees-paris.ufr918.upmc.fr/index.php?page=fiche&id=84
Ainara Cortés-Avizanda Ainara Cortés-Avizanda works at the Spanish National Research Council, in D http://cba.fc.ul.pt/members/ainara_cortes.php
Conspecific Interaction session Marta Manser Marta Manser is a researcher at the Departement of Evolutionary Biology and Environemental Studies at the Zurich University and is interested in the functioning of animal societies. She's studying the proximal and functional effects of coordination of group (leadership and group decision), but also communication and cognition of mammals (particularly meerkates and mongooses). With her team, she identifies what are the selective factors which enable the communicative complexity and the underlying cognitive mechanism. http://www.ieu.uzh.ch/en/staff/professors/mmanser.html
Frédéric Méry Frederic Mery works at the CNRS lab Evolution, Genome, Behaviour and Ecology, investigating experimentally the variations and evolution of cognitive capacities in fruit flies (mainly Drosophila melanogaster). He has worked on the costs of memory, the social transmission of information, and more recently on the dynamics of social interactions within groups. http://www.egce.cnrs-gif.fr/?p=774
Applied ecology session Vincent Bretagnolle Vincent Bretagnolle is a researcher at the Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé and the creator and Head of LTER (ZA) Plaine & Val de Sèvre since 1994. His research focuses on the regulation of populations and the management of natural resources. In particular, he is working on the effects of human practices, on dynamics of populations, in a aim of managing population. His main research program is on the effects of agriculture intensification on biodiversity, analysing functional diversity as well as conservation issues. http://www.cebc.cnrs.fr/Fidentite/bretagnolle/bretagnolle.htm
Pierre-Yves Henry Pierre-Yves Henry is leading the CRBPO, the national center for the coordination of bird-ringing data in France, affiliated to the Natural History National Museum of Paris. He has developed a unique program of mark-recapture data collection and analyses that relies on the education and coordination of a large network of amateurs and professionals all over the country. He will talk about the balance found by the CRBPO between academic research at the national and continental scale, and the scientific support and expertise offered to the structures and associations of biodiversity management. |
