Présentation
I focus my research on the interactions between human activities and bat movements. I am particularly fond of methods such as bat acoustic monitoring and acoustic flight path tracking, which provide numerous information: species identification, presence of social or foraging activity, and flight movement behaviour. I use these methods to infer the response of bats to environmental factors and human activities and suggest recommendations for the mitigation of human impacts.
Projets
Our goal is to identify spatial and temporal patterns of the presence of three common migrating bats (Pipistrellus nathusii, Nyctalus noctula and Nyctalus leisleri) using acoustic datasets.
Hotspots in acoustic activity are expected to predict priority areas for the conservation of those migrating species.
One of the aims of the project is to provide operational maps to guide wind energy planning.
