Research summary

The world is incredibly complex and dynamic. 对于所有动物生存的特定生物和非生物环境也是如此. Food resources alone can be patchy or cryptic, can appear and disappear, sometimes even run around themselves. 然而，动物管理(主要)是为了导航、生存、繁殖和生存. 在最广泛的层面上，我的研究解决了这个问题:如何做到这一点!?

To that end, and with countless collaborators & students, I apply a wide range of overlapping approaches. 我们开发了用于分析动物运动、生存和行为的统计工具. 我们开发和探索理论模型来构建问题和探索场景. 也许最重要的是，我们试图以富有洞察力和创造性的方式收集和分析现场数据.

Several major current research projects include:

• Fate of the caribou: Migratory caribou movements, behaviors and populations, 重点是气候变化和人类发展对加拿大北部和阿拉斯加的影响. 这项工作集中了当地和土著的知识和关切, combining movement, 生存和监测数据与下一代遥感-冰雪, of vegetation, 温度和风的变化，从而将北极标志性物种的戏剧性人口统计学联系起来.

• Cognitive movement ecology: Exploring through theory, conceptual development, 并创新实证分析空间记忆的作用, learning, and sociality shape the way animals use space.

• Coexistence ecology: Drivers, 共存与竞争的机制与结构(直接与表观), with a special focus on meso-carnivores (土狼，山猫，鱼，狐狸，浣熊，貂)在纽约和邻近的州.

• Predator-prey disease dynamics:狼对白尾鹿的(选择性)捕食对减缓中西部上部慢性消耗性疾病的传播有什么影响?

• Statistical tools: Development of analysis tools (with “fun” names like smoove, marcher, cyclomort, TuktuTools)，以促进从复杂数据，特别是在运动和生存方面的生态学推断.

Lab members

Dr. Ophélie Couriot (post-doc)

... 野生动物生态学家关注的是野生动物对全球变化的反应吗. In particular, 人类引起的气候和环境变化对动物运动行为的影响. ophsamlie研究了从个体到群体的几个尺度上的机制, 特别关注北美北极地区贫瘠的驯鹿.

她在法国图卢兹大学(University of Toulouse)获得博士学位. Mark Hewison, Dr. Nicolas Morellet(国家农业研究所), Food and the Environment, 法国[INRAe]和野生动物生态与行为[CEFS]实验室, and Dr. 索尼娅Saïd(国家狩猎和野生动物办公室[ONCFS]), 研究了资源和风险分布的时空变化对欧洲两种大型低地食草动物狍和马鹿运动和活动模式的影响.
