So... I am apparently soon to be a #CNRS researcher 🎉 Stoked to be one of the 2023 entrants!
Looking forward to develop my research project on the importance of #micronutrients for wildlife, ecosystem and human #health working with farmers, ENGOs and other colleagues in 🇨🇵 and 🇨🇦.
Exciting times ahead!!

Aujourd'hui au Québec, il ne faisait pas bon être un arbre, ni un cycliste... Ni un fil électrique !
Freezing rains in Montreal.
Happy to share for the first time a paper on Mastodon... which is also my first #bumblebee paper!

We showed that dietary tryptophan deficiencies mimicking those found in #corn and #dandelion pollen, impaired workers survival and increased aggressiveness levels, which was counteracted by vitamin B3, as found in #sunflower.
We discuss potential impact and solutions for #conservation, such as associating sunflower with corn as a pollinator friendly practice! 🌻🌽🐝
A new study indicates a benefit to honey bees of local sunflower cropland. Even low levels of sunflower acreage nearby correlate with reduced Varroa mite infestation in managed colonies, researchers found, and supplemental sunflower pollen helps ward off the mites, as well.
I just moved from another server so here is a fresh #introduction.
I am a postdoc/Liber Ero Fellow in Québec, Canada. I grew-up on a small farm in France, surrounded by nature and small-scale agriculture 🏞️🐑
I am studying #ecology, #evolution, #behavior and #nutrition of terrestrial wildlife. Now mostly working on the #conservation of endangered species.
I have been studyin amazing wild hamsters and chipmunks, and recently started working on #bumblebees !
