The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.

As an expert in spatial ecology, I am interested in the response of animal populations to environmental change through individual movements such as dispersal, foraging and migration. I collect individual data from long-term monitoring (CMR) and telemetry tools (GPS, GLS), which I then analyse using complex statistical tools. I also develop new hypotheses by building theoretical models of population dynamics or individual-centred models parameterised with empirical data collected in the field. My work combines behavioural ecology, conservation biology, eco-epidemiology and statistics, and requires solid skills in R and C++ programming and GIS.
