Research Topic: I'm interested in the study of movements and habitat selection of large mammals. In particular, coupling movement and habitat selection to gain insights into behavioral processes involved in habitat selection. I aim at relating fine-scale processes to large scale distribution patterns. My postdoc project aim at comparing movements processes of large herbivore species at different spatial scales to identify behavioural decision rules involved, and to relate fine-scale movement processes to seasonal home-ranges.
