High genetic connectivity of two pollinating flies despite urban disturbance Open
Hoverflies (Syrphidae) are essential pollinators, and their severe decline jeopardizes their invaluable contribution to plant diversity and agricultural production. However, we know little about the dispersal abilities of hoverflies in urb…

Robustness of resistance surface optimisations: sampling schemes and genetic distance metrics affect inferences in landscape genetics Open
Context Landscape genetics provides powerful tools to quantify the effects of landscape features on population connectivity, but robust results are imperative to inform conservation planning. Objectives The robustness of landscape genetic …

Conservation prioritisation through genomic reconstruction of demographic histories applied to two endangered suids in the Malay Archipelago Open
Aim The biodiversity of the Malay Archipelago is the product of the region's rich biogeographical history with periods of island connectivity and isolation during the Pleistocene glacial cycles. Here, the case of two endemic suid species, …

Conservation by trans-border cooperation: population genetic structure and diversity of geoffroy’s bat (Myotis emarginatus) at its north-western european range edge Open
In the European Union, all bat species are strictly protected and member states must ensure their conservation. However, if populations are genetically structured, conservation units that correspond to whole countries may be too large, put…

Population Biology of Fin Whales: Applying Demographic and Evolutionary Approaches to Studying Populations Open
Fin whales are the second largest mammals to roam across the oceans, often returning to the same feeding grounds every summer. In this PhD thesis, I used a different approach in each chapter to gain insight into how numbers, distribution, …

Up in the air: drone images reveal underestimation of entanglement rates in large rorqual whales Open
Entanglement in fishing gear is a significant threat to many cetaceans. For the 2 largest species, the blue whale Balaenoptera musculus and the fin whale B. physalus , reports of entangled individuals are rare, leading to the assumption th…

Beyond the landscape: Resistance modelling infers physical and behavioural gene flow barriers to a mobile carnivore across a metropolitan area Open
Urbanization affects key aspects of wildlife ecology. Dispersal in urban wildlife species may be impacted by geographical barriers but also by a species’ inherent behavioural variability. There are no functional connectivity analyses using…
