Research interests |
|
My main scientific interest focuses on the short-term and long-term effects of different components of an animal’s early developmental environment with respect to its behaviour, reproduction, health and survival. The presence of siblings and interactions among them is an important component of the early social environment in many mammal species, and I study the costs and benefits of having siblings during different life stages. Furthermore, I investigate the impact of such early life conditions on the ontogeny of animal personality. |
Teaching |
|
I mainly teach in courses within the master program of ethology (general and applied ethology, development of behaviour, behavioural physiology, applied statistics with R) and in the Ecole Doctorale (scientific writing, applied multifactorial statistics with R). |
