Principal Investigator / marc.mazerolle@sbf.ulaval.ca

My research program aims to quantify and model the mechanisms influencing animal population dynamics in forest environments under various types of disturbances (invasive species, logging, roads, agriculture) and at different spatial scales. I primarily use amphibians as model organisms, although some of my work focuses on reptiles, birds, small mammal communities, and certain plant species. My work is conducted in the field and involves capture-mark-recapture studies, mesocosm experiments, and modeling exercises on Calcul Québec servers. I am particularly interested in approaches that allow for the estimation of demographic parameters after accounting for the probability of imperfect detection. To this end, I use frequentist and Bayesian approaches.
