Impacts of Land Use and Flood Regime on Zooplankton Egg Banks in a Large River Floodplain

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Zooplankton egg banks are crucial in rebuilding zooplankton populations in temporary water bodies when favourable conditions return after dry periods. However, their abundance, viability, and hatching success depend on many factors, with changes in land use and flooding regimes being potentially crucial drivers.

Major drivers of invasion risks throughout the world

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2016., 2016
Abstract In this paper, we investigate how climate, land use, habitat characteristics, and socioeconomic activities contribute to predict the current potential distributions of the “100 among the world's worst invasive alien species”. We calculated the predictive power of each of the 41 variables for the 95 species including a large number of plants ...

eDNA Metabarcoding to Monitor Fish Communities in a Large River Floodplain

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Comparing eDNA metabarcoding with electrofishing in the Lake St. Pierre floodplain, we found that both methods detected similar dominant species but revealed differences in overall community composition. Each method captured sector‐driven patterns in fish communities, while land use played a weaker role.

Animal movement in space and time: the role of thermal barriers and individual variation in modulating predator–prey overlap in stratified lakes

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Animal movements play a crucial role in ecosystem dynamics, regulating numerous functions from nutrient cycling to habitat coupling. Therefore, any factor modulating animal behavior (e.g. physiology and individual preferences in habitat choice) has the potential to influence ecosystem functioning.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Thermal habitat fragmentation in stratified lakes induces resource waves that brook charr track across seasons

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2024, Issue 10, October 2024.
The spatial configuration of thermal habitats constrains the thermoregulatory performance of ectotherms. Thermal landscapes also vary through time, which is particularly relevant in seasonal environments such as temperate lakes. Indeed, elevated temperatures in the epilimnion of dimictic lakes during summer could substantially reduce the use of this ...

Blind shots: non‐natural mortality counteracts conservation efforts of a threatened waterbird

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 293-307, June 2024.
The assessment of the marbled teal population reinforcement programme in Spain carrying out releases of captive‐bred birds showed that 60% of the mortality is due to non‐natural causes, mostly illegal shooting. To establish a self‐sustaining population, non‐natural mortality should be reduced by 40% and management measures such as prosecution of ...
