We had our first meeting for the project “Climate and management effects on COMmunity dynamics – Developing multi-species DEMOgraphy"funded by ANR. The website is operational and running, check it out here.
We organised a 2-day workshop on the metrics of longevity used in human and animal demography. The idea is to explore potential bridges between the two fields. Next meeting in April. The group is led by S. Cubaynes, a former PhD student of mine, who now holds a lecturer position at Montpellier University.
Wow, another good news, our project “Climate and management effects on COMmunity dynamics – Developing multi-species DEMOgraphy” will be funded by ANR!
My post-doc Sarah Cubaynes and I went to visit our colleague Jon Aars in Tromso, Norway. We are working together on the demography of polar bears using an amazing dataset the Norwegian Polar Institute has been collecting for decades. It was also the opportunity to catch up with Nigel (Gilles) Yoccoz who’s being very helpful with this project. Jon took us fishing; I was luckier than with fly-fishing ;-)
