I'm interested on collective decision-making processes, habitat use and group communication of social animals. During my Ph.D, I especially worked on herbivorous species to better understand how they organize collectively during their spontaneous movements, especially trying to highlight mecanisms involved in the leadership phenomenon. These studies could allow to developt new herd management strategies and promote a better cohabitation between human and animal populations. Indeed, Human-Wildlife conflicts are often provoke by a lack of general knowledge about the ecological and social needs of species, leading to unsuitable land-sharing as well as ineffective herd management methods. Thus, studying social organisation and group movements is particularly relevant, first for targeting the most favorable habitats for the species, and then for controlling the space use of animals once they were reintroduced.
