Team Chiro

Research interests:

Bioacoustics, bat ecology, acoustic survey of bat populations, acoustic identification.

Research interests:

Conservation biologist, ecologist. Research on biodiversity responses to global anthropogenic changes (climate, land use, practices as light pollution, agricultural intensification, wind energy...) and effectiveness of conservation measures. Monitoring, indicators, scenarios, taxonomic and functional approches.

Research interests:

My research focuses on mechanisms underpinning global change impacts on biodiversity at different scales. Via co-supervision of PhD, my recent researches focus on the assessment of different pressures (light pollution, agriculture intensification, road infrastructure, wind energy) on bat populations. I also contributed to the assessments of the relevance of policies such as the designation effect of Natura2000 areas on non-targeted species, and on biodiversity offsets in the context of the mitigation hierarchy.

Research interests:

Ecoacoustics, machine learning, macroecology, monitoring, conservation. 

Research interests:

My work is focused on the understanding of human pressures (agriculture, habitat loss, artificial light, wind energy, management of landscape infrastructures) on biodiversity (mainly bat and bird communities, functional traits, behaviour) and ecoacoustics.

Key words:

Ecoacoustics – Applied ecology – Artificial light at night – Behavioural ecology - Conservation agriculture – Ecological offsetting – Farming practices – Landscape ecology –  Wind energy

Research interests:

Bat ecology and development of methods for bat monitoring. In charge of the coordination of bat captures in France. In charge of animal welfare and skills in the use of wild animals.

Research interests:

Bioacoustics, behavioural ecology, and development of methods for bat monitoring. Currently studying bat migration routes in Europe thanks to acoustic monitoring: building of a collaborative network of bat workers and researchers.

Research interests:

Conservation Biology - Predictive modelling - Movement ecology 

My work aims to better assess the risk of mortality of birds and bats associated with wind turbines, including a better estimate of persistence and detectability factors.
This work will allow to establish recommendations to limit the impact of wind energy on bats and birds.

Research interests:

My current research focuses on assessing the impact of offshore windfarms on bats and birds using bioacoustic monitoring. This project will also improve our general knowledge of the presence of bats and landbirds offshore, by notably identifying the potential variables determining their activity (e.g. weather, season) 

Research interests:

Following a PhD thesis on the effects of light pollution on the spatial - and also temporal - distribution of bats, my work led me to develop a taste for emerging biodiversity monitoring methods and approaches (participatory science, eco-acoustics). I have put these interests into practice by taking part in a new research project aimed at using acoustic monitoring coupled with machine learning tools to study the response of biodiversity to anthropogenic pressures.

Research interests:

Road and motorway networks have been identified as one of the main pressures on biodiversity. Yet few studies have looked at the effects of these transport infrastructures on bats. The objective of my work is to study the impact of motorways in different landscape contexts and to assess whether the environments restored or recreated in the context of mitigation measures are positive for bat activity. The results of this work could be used to support sustainable land use planning.

Research interests:

My interest in human – non-human relationships is currently focused on studying the effects of terrestrial and offshore wind turbines (attraction-avoidance behavior, detour in migratory routes, consequences on population dynamics) on bats and birds communities. Additionally, I investigate wind energy development impacts and how other landscapes transformations (agricultural exploitation ; urbanisation ; transport infrastructures…) interact with each other.

Research interests:

I work on a research project which aim to determine the utilisation of the sea by bats and birds along manche Atlantique French coasts (in a futur context of the  offshore windfarm development). Our acoustic sampling aims to  have a better understanding of migration routes of bats and birds and also their phenology, their flying behaviour or the meteorological variables wich condition their presence at sea.

I work on the Migratlane project with Christian Kerbiriou, Antoine Chabrolle, Anais Pessato and Juliette Baron.

Research interests:

I initially worked as a tropical ecologist, focusing on understanding trophic cascades involving insectivorous predators (i.e. birds and bats), insects, and plants. I have extensive experience surveying bats in diverse tropical forests, particularly in Papua New Guinea. Currently, my research focuses on exploring the links between bat activity and mortality due to wind turbines within the French landscape, as part of the APOCOPE project (Amélioration de la Protection des Oiseaux et des Chauves-souris et Optimisation de la Production d’Energie Eolienne).
