Submissions for the greatest conference on open and transparent science in ecology and evolution are now open! If you have something to share, don't hesitate to submit an abstract! This year, I'm also involved in the conference organization so feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😊
Biodiversity in Equations advertising poster. 9-10 April, Montpellier.
Me in front of my poster: “Statistical methods to measure species trends from biased data”
Last week I had the pleasure to present a poster at the Biodiversity in Equations conference. A nice opportunity to exchange with great and knowledgeable people. Also the first time I formally presented our occupancy results from the DRAGON project!
A great article to know more about our last publication with the DRAGON project! It’s a really good summary made accessible to everyone, so don’t hesitate to read on (English version available through this link ➡️ www.fondationbiodiversite.fr/en/investiga...)
🔊SAVE THE DATE for our 6th SORTEE conference: 13-14th Oct 2026!
Registration & content submission (unconferences, hackathons, workshops) will open soon.

One for the #dragonfly feed. note the link will get you the full article for the next 50 days. #invertebrates
The link above should give everyone open-access for 50 days. After that, you're much welcome to contact me or any co-author to get the PDF!
Graphical abstract for the article
Happy to share my very first article dragonflies !
We investigate how dragonflies traits are linked with their vulnerability in Europe. Our main conclusions: habitat, life cycle length and temperature preferences are the main traits linked with vulnerability.

Wikipedia’s network of first links starting from 100 random articles. Interested? Find out more in the blogpost!
Excited to share my brand-new website, now including a blogging section! In my first post, I investigate whether all pages on @wikipedia.org really lead to Philosophy, using R and the Wikimedia API 👩💻

The latest European Grassland Butterfly Indicator is out. It shows that grassland butterflies have declined by 47% since 1991, indicating a huge loss of grassland biodiversity. The data come from 16,150 transects & 15,000 volunteers. We are calling for urgent action. www.bc-europe.eu/documents/69...

Slide with my career path
Biotechnologies & Bioinformatics department at INSA
Today I had the pleasure to go back at INSA (where I got my engineer degree in 2020) to present my career path in ecology and academia to fourth-year students of the Bioinformatics and Modelling pathway! It was super nice to share my experience 😊

Fun fact : j’ai créé cette mascotte (Wiky), à l’occasion d’un séminaire dans notre labo (@lbbe-lyon.bsky.social) qu’on a préparé avec @flolecorvaisier.bsky.social, portant justement sur la contribution à Wikipédia !

How exactly does academic authorship work? And how can we establish fairer crediting systems that recognise non-academic authors and diverse contributions?

the galaxias hex logo showing a fun-coloured illustration of a green galaxias fish. The head, gills and fin in the centre with light green on the underside, green lips and wavy shades of green on its back, with blue and orange markings by its eye and gills. The background is light orangey-salmony colour in a sunburst style
🚨Our new package {galaxias} is released in R & Python today! 🚨
📦 galaxias makes it easy to standardise data to Darwin Core, the accepted format for sharing ecological data with infrastructures like @gbif.org and the Atlas of Living Australia

Nouvel épisode du podcast "Interstices" que j'ai fait pour l'INRIA ! 🎙️✨
Avec Eric Tanier et Vincent Daubin, on plonge dans la vie artificielle comme banc d'essai pour l'évolution moléculaire 🧬💻
Fascinant !

Un grand merci à @alexandradelbot.bsky.social d’avoir pris le temps de m’écouter et d’avoir fait une chronique sur notre papier pour France Culture !
Everybody makes money out of academic authors except the authors...News.
Wiley is the latest academic publisher to reach a multi-million deal to allow access to its content to AI developers, with no opt out, let alone payment, for the authors who created that content.
Very happy to share our new paper published in Current Biology !
We show that the “big bad wolf” actually fears humans for good reason.
It’s the first-ever playback experiment on wild wolves in Europe 🇵🇱🌲.
Our International Postdoc Forum is a virtual seminar series for early career researchers to share their work w/commentary by MCPS community members. Excited to welcome @rosetrappes.bsky.social (University of Bergen, Norway) at 1215 CT Wed 24 Sept. Sign up for Zoom link. buff.ly/MSAXLgY

Title and author list for the synthesis paper titled "Understanding and Predicting Population Response to Anthropogenic Disturbance: Current Approaches and Novel Opportunities" published in Ecology Letters.
The latest paper from the DISCAR synthesis group is out at Ecology Letters! We discuss the key approaches to predicting human impacts on wildlife populations, highlighting avenues for incorporating indirect effects, such as energetic modelling. doi.org/10.1111/ele....
It was a pleasure to attend and speak at this great conference! @ecobhvr2025.bsky.social
