Here you will find my main research interests and projects I’m currently working on!

Pregnancy tests in the wild

Trophic mismatches in herbivores

Understanding the extent to which changes in phenology match across trophic levels has been one of my main research areas. I used long term data of individually marked bighorn sheep to explore research questions related to reproductive and vegetation phenologies. Artwork by Impact Media Lab

Responses to global changes

At the core of my research interests are the ecological and evolutionary responses of organisms, in an era of anthropogenic changes. I focus on phenotypic plasticity in phenological, behavioural and ecosphysiological traits.

Postdoctoral research fellow, Fisheries and Oceans Canada

2021-present

  • Assess pregnancy rates in endangered beluga population based on blubber progesterone concentrations

Postdoctoral research fellow, Université de Sherbrooke
