Welcome to Lise's Website

 My undergraduate studies in biology were conducted at the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse (France). I then studied ecology, behaviour, and evolution at Concordia University in Montreal (Canada), and worked on both mammals (Roe deers) and birds (Black-legged Kittiwakes) since then. 

My PhD project was conducted under the supervision of Professor Emmanuelle Cam at the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse (France), in collaboration with Professor James Vaupel, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock (Germany). Professor Jean-Yves Monnat, creator and manager of the kittiwake dataset, was highly involved in this work as well; along with Professor David Koons at Utah State University, and Samuel Pavard, Professor at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.

I am now a postdoctoral fellow at the Berryman Institute (human-wildlife conflicts). I work in close collaboration with Rocky Rockwell and Dave Koons on management questions relating to lesser snow geese populations breeding in Hudson Bay (northern Manitoba).  I will used available snow goose banding data and harvest surveys to examine the functional response of sport harvest to changes in policy regulations; estimate how this response has affected age-specific survival, and how it is likely to affect it in the future; then model the resulting impacts on short- and long-term population dynamics.
