- Master’s research internship: “Indicators of trends in seabird populations from TAAF"
2013 - 2013
Supervisor : C. Barbraud, CR
Beauvoir-sur-Niort (79)
This study describes the development of trend indicators in breeding seabird populations in the French Southern and Antarctic Territories (Kerguelen, Crozet, Amsterdam Islands and Terre Adélie). It is based on the census and capture-recapture data of 19 species for the period 1987-2012. These data were obtained from a long-term monitoring program led by the “CEBC Marine Predators team”. Multi-species abundance trends were established using two approaches: a Frequentist approach based on log-linear modelling, and a Bayesian approach that takes into account random effects such as species or year. Meanwhile, demographic time series (survival and breeding probabilities, reproductive success) of 5 seabird species were estimated using capture-mark-recapture data analyses, and were combined in order to extract a common birds’ response to environmental factors in the Southern Indian Ocean. The indicator of overall abundance was also linked with these environmental covariates. Until now such trend indicators had not been developed for the Southern Ocean. We discuss their utility to assist decision making for policy makers.

- Laboratory research internship: "Mechanisms of prey recognition by a predator (Coccinellidae)"
2011 - 2012
Toulouse (31)
We studied the role of cuticular hydrocarbons in the recognition of prey and food preferences of a predator (Adalia bipunctata (L.)), using different behavioral studies. We have highlighted the role of aphids' cuticular information prevailing on their intrinsic qualities and inducing predator's foraging decisions. These decisions are also influenced by the state of satiety and the stage of development of the predator. Many preliminary experiments were conducted to study the influence of prey treatments on the ladybugs' behaviors, which may bias our results.
Behavioral tests (A. bipunctata).
Monitorings of reproductive success, weight, mortality, and aggregations (A. bipunctata, Hippodamia undecimpunctata).
Rearings (A. bipunctata, Chilocorus bipustulatus).
