Colin Bouchard obtained his PhD in our lab. He has developed analyses regarding the effect of spatial aggregation on population dynamics and individual fitness in Atlantic salmon, using both long term monitoring and experimental approaches in natura. He also worked on synchronized dynamics between Atlantic salmon populations during a first Post-Doc in Berkeley with Stephanie Carlson. He is now back in our lab for some experimental work on the effect of toxics on glass eels swimming behaviour.
Status: Postdoctoral researcher
Keywords: alternative tactics, network analysis, demography, hierarchical modelling, telemetry, salmon.

Charlotte Evangelista is a freshwater ecologist with a research background on functional and trait-based ecology. Using a combination of fieldwork and experimental approaches, she focuses on the consequences of intraspecific variability for the higher levels of biological organization. For instance, how do human activities modulate trait variability within species, and from there, key ecosystem functions. Charlotte just joined the international lab “MacLife” with Mathieu Buoro, Albert Ruhi and Stephanie Carlson (UC Berkeley, US). Her project examines the effects of drought on predator-prey interactions, benthic invertebrate community composition, and fluxes of emerging aquatic insects that fuel terrestrial food webs.
Status: Postdoctoral researcher
Keywords: functional ecology, intraspecific variability
Sylvie Oddou-Muratorio is a population geneticist, and in charge of the scientific lead of the lab. She is interested in estimating “real time » eco-evolutionary processes contributing to adaptation of diadromous fish populations to their environment, and in developing process-based models to predict the ecological and adaptive dynamics of these populations.
Status: Researcher
Keywords: molecular markers, in situ quantitative genetics, Individual-Based model, CAPSIS

Françoise Daverat is versed in the study of sclerochronology, which is the analysis of the structure and composition of calcified structures (scales, otoliths, fin rays), to infer retrospectively individual traits such as habitat use patterns, natal origin, growth patterns. Such knowledge helps revealing the adaptative value of alternative life history tactics among within diadromous fish species in contrasted contexts, including anthropogenic stressed environments.
Status: Researcher
Keywords: diadromous fish, intra-specific biodiversity, phenotypic plasticity, growth, sclerochronology, otolith science.

Natach Nikolic was also recently hired in our lab. She investigates the evolutionary history of aquatic populations through the analysis of past genetic diversity, gene flow, effective population size, and related adaptive responses, so to better understand the current effect of anthropogenic and environmental pressures on fish populations.
Status: Researcher
Keywords: Evolutionary history, genetics, adaptation, halieutic, populations management.
