Calibrating an occupancy metric to monitor elusive territorial species at large scale: Application to the grey wolf population in France

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
As a cost‐effective alternative to abundance, we developed and calibrated a spatial metric to monitor elusive territorial species distributed over large areas. The spatial metric can provide three elements: annual maps of predicted presence, annual estimates of the total area occupied and evaluation of changes in occupancy at a local scale from year to

A centralised multi‐unit recording system for automated, off‐grid animal observation and environmental monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2335-2344, October 2025.
Abstract Automated monitoring is transforming ecological and behavioural research by enabling accurate, long‐term data collection and processing with minimal intervention—especially in remote or logistically challenging environments. However, monitoring multiple organisms or sites simultaneously poses substantial logistical hurdles, including the need ...

La biodiversité à l’épreuve des choix d’aménagement : une approche par la modélisation appliquée à la Région Occitanie [PDF]

open access: yesSciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2020
Le manque de vision et de coordination territoriales est souvent mis en cause pour expliquer les difficultés pratiques auxquelles se heurte l’application de la séquence Éviter-Réduire-Compenser (ERC) en France. C’est dans ce contexte et en accompagnement

Host Evaluation: Reliance on Symbionts: A new metric for quantifying nutrient exchange in nutritional mutualisms

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2048-2066, September 2025.
Abstract Mutualisms between autotrophs and heterotrophs that exchange nutrients are of pivotal importance in the ecology and evolution of life on Earth. However, investigation of holobiont trophic strategy (reliance on autotrophy vs. heterotrophy) is hampered by practical challenges in quantifying their diverse nutritional pathways.

Economic Decline and Ecological Impact: What Future for European Fur Farming? Déclin économique et impact écologique : quel avenir pour l’élevage d'animaux à fourrure en Europe ? Wirtschaftlicher Niedergang und ökologische Auswirkungen: Was bringt die Zukunft für die europäische Pelztierzucht?

open access: yesEuroChoices, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 79-86, August 2025.
Summary The economic, ecological and animal welfare impacts of fur farming in the European Union have been debated for decades, culminating in proposals for an EU‐wide ban on keeping animals solely for fur production. The Covid‐19 pandemic further intensified these discussions, particularly within individual Member States.

Effects of Benthic Burrows on Hyporheic Exchange

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Macrobenthic invertebrates are widely distributed on sediments, and the micro‐morphology such as burrows and sand mounds due to their bioturbation activities can cause substantial changes in hyporheic exchange (HE). This study explores the characteristics of HE induced by benthic burrows through flume experiments and numerical simulations ...

Evaluating the French Flash Flood Warning System Using Hydrological and Impact Data in Southeastern France

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Due to climate change and rapid urbanisation, flash floods are becoming increasingly threatening, making real‐time flash flood monitoring and early warning systems a crucial adaptation measure. In France, the Vigicrues Flash system, operational since 2017, uses a simplified rainfall‐runoff model to issue short‐range flood warnings for small‐to‐

No thanks: How an ideology of sharing, not reciprocating, ensures abundance in the forests of south‐eastern Cameroon

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1041-1055, May 2025.
Abstract Reciprocity and relationality are themes which frequently emerge with respect to human–nature associations in Indigenous groups around the world. But many hunter‐gatherers have been shown to reject systems of reciprocity, instead favouring unconditional sharing both between each other and their environment through egalitarian social structures.

Navigating human–plant reciprocity: Commercial harvesting by professionals of a medicinal plant fosters multi‐actor landscape management

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1073-1085, May 2025.
Abstract Studies of human–nature relationships increasingly recognise not only nature's contributions to people but also the positive contributions of human practices to ecosystems. The concept of reciprocal contributions emphasises positive human–nature relationships. But trade‐offs between natural elements implies that human favouring of one element (

Regenerative Agriculture and Climate Protection – High Expectations, Low Delivery Agriculture régénératrice et protection du climat : des attentes élevées, des résultats médiocres Regenerative Landwirtschaft und Klimaschutz ‐ Hohe Erwartungen, geringe Erfolge

open access: yesEuroChoices, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 20-26, April 2025.
Summary Regenerative agriculture has gained attention for its potential to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from crop production and improve farm profitability through practices like cover cropping and reduced tillage. However, empirical data suggest that the carbon storage potential and economic benefits of these methods are often overstated ...
