My research focuses on the influence of environmental pressures on the ecology, dynamics and genetics of social mammals.
My studies are mainly based on long-term monitoring of populations of wild and endangered primates species, the Barbary macaque of North Africa and the Western lowland gorilla.
The data collected relate to behavioral strategies (spatio-temporal exploitation of resources, socio-sexual relations),
the genetic structuring of groups and populations (mainly based on non-invasive fecal samples), group dynamics (reproduction, survival, dispersion),
and more recently data on human / monkey interactions.
These databases allow me to explore various questions in :
Behavioral ecology
Population dynamics and genetics
Landscape ecology and genetics
Social dynamics
Conservation
