Animal behaviour – Terrestrial and Marine Mammals
Acoustic communication – Movement ecology

____
My research focuses on acoustic communication in group-living terrestrial and marine mammals. I aim to decipher the role of vocal signals in the establishment and modulation of social interactions and collective behaviours. More recently, I have expanded my work to investigate how moving animals use acoustic communication, together with the cognitive mechanisms underlying orientation and navigation. My projects rely on a range of field-based data collection methods, including active recordings of animal vocalisations, passive acoustic monitoring, and the deployment of embedded multi-sensor tags. My approach combines analyses of acoustic signals with behavioural and movement data, and incorporates experimental methods such as playback experiments and translocation paradigms.

Out of strong ethical considerations, we work with a limited number of animals, have thorough knowledge of the species involved, and take all necessary measures to ensure that our work has a minimal — if not negligible — impact. All our studies are reviewed and approved by independent ethics committees.
