Jeu producteur-chapardeur chez les diamants mandarins

Diamant mandarin mâle

Expérience postdoctorale

2001-2004 : Université du Québec à Montréal (Québec, Canada).

Programme de recherche

Le programme de recherche développé s’intéresse aux comportements des animaux et, plus particulièrement, à ceux qui se rapportent au choix d’un partenaire chez les espèces monogames et aux comportements de défense et de partage des ressources dans un contexte d’approvisionnement social. Les travaux combinent des modèles de théorie des jeux et des études expérimentales utilisant des diamants mandarins.

Academic background

Ph.D. 2000: Université de Bourgogne (France).

M.Sc. 1997: Université de Bourgogne (France).

Postdoctoral fellow

2001-2004: Université du Québec à Montréal (Quebec, Canada).

Research interest

My interests can be split into three broad research areas: 1) mate choice and public information use in monogamous species, 2) resource defense in group foraging animals and 3) cooperation among unrelated individuals. My works combine theoretic models and laboratory experiments with zebra finches.
