New paper in Methods Ecology and Evolution!

Lead with @belette-runner.bsky.social and many motivated ecologists.

Imagine being able to model predator–prey dynamics using the instinctive choices people make while playing games in a natural landscape 🦊 🐇

Impersonating predators and prey to study trophic interactions through real‐life simulations
Predator–prey interactions are a fundamental aspect of ecology that has generated sustained research interests. Progress in the field stems from a diverse range of approaches, from highly controll...

So excited to shared this project lead with @fredericddb.bsky.social and many enthusiastic ecologists. We played as predators and prey and with quite simple rules and were able to reproduce phenomenon observed in nature. doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Excited to share our new paper in @esajournals.bsky.social Ecology! ❄️
Our 17-year study shows that even moderate winter events (rain-on-snow, melt-feeze) can negatively influence lemming winter reproduction and population growth. 🐹

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

Fresh off the press! 📰
How do territorial predators behave when at risk of encountering neighbours?

Jeanne @jclermont.bsky.social tracked Arctic foxes 🦊 on Bylot Island to study the effect of conspecific encounter risk on foraging behavior.

Territoriality Modulates the Effect of Conspecific Encounters on the Foraging Behaviours of a Mammalian Predator
We monitored the movements and behaviours of Arctic foxes using neighbouring home ranges and evaluated if conspecific interactions influenced where they foraged. The probability of encountering consp....

New: The Specialist Predator Hypothesis is discussed here and David provide evidence that it is not well supported to explain lemming cycles and, de facto, the temporal dynamics of the Arctic tundra food web. However, ermines do have a major impact on it. Find out in the MS how! Its open access.
Seasonal role of a specialist predator in rodent cycles: Ermine–lemming interactions in the High Arctic
The exact mechanisms behind population cycles remain elusive. An ongoing debate centers on whether predation by small mustelids is necessary and sufficient to generate rodent cycles, as stipulated by...

Arctic hares may be migratory in the high Arctic.

Uncertain what causes this possible migration but resource tracking seems plausible.

Hello Bluesky! I'm a behavioral ecologist wrapping up my PhD at Laval University. I use movement data and field surveys to explore how predation shapes population dynamics and species coexistence. Most of my work is on arctic fox, shorebirds, geese and mountain goats. Happy to join the conversation!
