It is therefore an important metric for understanding how organisms utilize space and the environment they live in. Although home range size is a relatively well-studied in spatial ecology, there are surprisingly few repeatability estimate...

Lydia Yu; Michela Dumas; Julien Martin; Pierre Bize - Abstract: Nest defence behaviour is an aggressive response against predators or humans. It has been observed in many avian species that shows sex specific variation, changing through age and has potential effects on fitness. Using the long-term dataset of Alpine swifts with more than 20 years of behaviour measurements, I studied the following questions:1. within individual variation of nest defence ...
Raphaëlle Houtart; Patrick Bergeron; Denis Réale; Mathilde Tissier; Dany Garant - Résume: Les télomères sont des structures protectrices situées aux extrémités des chromosomes. Chez plusieurs vertébrés, la longueur des télomères raccourcie avec l’âge, ce qui serait généralement associé au processus de vieillissement et de sénescence cellulaire. Cependant, l’étude récente de la longueur des télomères chez un plus vaste éventail d’espèces a permis de constater ...

Maxim Sauvé-Rozon; Vincent Careau - Résumé: Les rythmes saisonniers sont bien documentés en nature, mais restent mystérieux chez les rongeurs de laboratoire, pour lesquels les conditions sont supposées constantes. J'étudie la saisonnalité de l'activité locomotrice et de la masse corporelle mesurées sur ~38 000 souris...
Birot, Augustin; Blumstein, Daniel T.; Martin, Julien GA. - Abstract: Studying natural evolution as it is happening is becoming more and more frequent. However, many studies have to study only a fraction of the demographic age and sex classes, often only focusing on adult females, thus potentially facing a mis...
