  • Biologie
  • Écologie des oiseaux côtiers

  • Ph. D., Université Laval

S’intéresse à l’écologie, la physiologie et le comportement des oiseaux en général mais particulièrement des oiseaux côtiers. L’effet du dérangement humain et la conservation des habitats marins d’oiseaux et de mammifères sont d’autres centres d’intérêt.
