My work is in the fields of ecology and conservation biology, with a particular interest in the acoustic component of natural environments. Today, my aim is to ensure that these ecoacoustic tools are sufficiently developed, tested and criticised so that they can become a real tool to help manage natural areas. The analysis of soundscapes, or soundscapes, provides unique access to animal communities through non-invasive, multi-taxa, replicable measurements with fine spatial and temporal resolution. Recent studies show that this approach provides information on biodiversity, its natural dynamics (daily and seasonal rhythms, variations between ecosystems) and changes in animal communities due to external disturbance (invasive species, human activities, fires, etc.).
