La forêt boréale canadienne est considérée comme une «pouponnière» de la faune aviaire. Des centaines de millions d’oiseaux migrateurs y nichent, protégés par une loi fédérale. L’industrie forestière peut-elle leur «nuire» même si la loi l’interdit? www.ledevoir.com/environnemen...

Assessing Catharus bicknelli (Bicknell’s Thrush) habitat dynamics: A high-resolution model based on LiDAR metrics Abstract. Assessing species occurrences can be challenging due to issues such as species detectability and difficulties in accessing habitats for surveys.

Very happy of our latest pub on a high-resolution habitat model to predict the occurrence of the Bicknell's Thrush using forest structure metrics from LiDAR. A valuable tool for supporting more effective conservation/mitigation measures (i.e, forest harvesting or wind energy) doi.org/10.1093/orni...

Avian Conservation and Ecology: Breeding habitat selection of Canada Warblers across three distinct landscapes in Québec We investigated the breeding habitat selection of the Canada Warbler (<em>Cardellina canadensis</em>) in southern Quebec across three distinct landscapes: a mixed boreal forest, an agroforestry landsc...

New paper out on the Breeding habitat selection of Canada Warblers across three distinct landscapes in Québec highlighting variations in habitat type across sites but with consistent habitat structure (high shrub density)

The LaMontagne Lab at the University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher with interests in plant ecology, population ecology, macrosystems biology, and synthesis research. Dr. Jalene LaMontagne is the E. Desmond Lee Endowed Professor in Botanical Studies at UMSL in conjunction with the Missouri Botanical Garden. The LaMontagne Lab focuses broadly on the patterns, drivers, and consequences of spatio-temporal variability and synchrony in population dynamics. This includes the phenomenon of mast seeding reproduction in trees from local to global scales, consumer-resource dynamics, and climate change. Projects will build upon existing mast seeding datasets including global data syntheses, and long-term mast-seeding fieldwork data collected by the lab since 2012. Much of the research will be focused on data analysis and creating reproducible research pathways, and there will be opportunities to visit the long-term field sites. The postdoctoral researcher will work directly with Dr. LaMontagne, as well as collaborators at other institutions. Funding is currently available for one year, with an additional one-year extension depending upon satisfactory job performance. Additional funds are available to support travel, including to conferences.

📢 Please share! I'm going to be hiring a #postdoc (1-2 year position). The ad isn't out yet (hopefully soon!). Preview below. Areas of interest include: spatio-temporal dynamics across scales, synthesis, mast seeding.

Come collaborate with us!
New joint project between @eoem-tum.bsky.social and @easilabubt.bsky.social!

What a pleasure to see this paper out presenting #motus deployments since the last decade on 10 different bird species providing migratory movements for >350 individual from OOT - on top, a super cool shinyapp to explore all the filtered hits per species: ootadoussac.shinyapps.io/JOFO-2025-705/

Journal of Field Ornithology: Insights from a decade of using the Motus network to track boreal bird species from Observatoire d’oiseaux de Tadoussac, Québec to temperate and tropical wintering ground... Migration is the least-studied phase of the life cycle for many bird species, despite its importance to the full understanding of their life history traits and conservation. Between 2014 and 2023, we ...

Hot off the press, a new paper by Jake, @tremblay-ecology.bsky.social and co-authors! journal.afonet.org/vol96/iss2/a... 'Insights from a decade of using the Motus network to track boreal bird species from Observatoire d’oiseaux de Tadoussac, Québec to temperate and tropical wintering grounds'

Black-backed Woodpecker is often described as 🔥dependent. However, our work offers a different perspective suggesting the species is rather opportunistic, benefiting from various forest disturbances that create recently dead trees, such as outbreaks of Hemlock Looper 👉 ace-eco.org/vol20/iss1/a...

Like birds and models? Dr. Erin Bayne and I are currently recruiting a 2 year postdoc to come work with us at the Boreal Avian Modelling project on boreal bird models and applications of those models. Full details are here tinyurl.com/4yxju63k. Feel free to get in touch with qs!

Nouvelle publication - le pic à dos noir bénéficie des pulses de ressources créées par l'arpenteuse de la pruche malgré les opérations de récupération forestière sur 38% des peuplements touchés. PIDN n'est pas qu'une affaire d'habitat post-feu 🤓
Bravo Myriam & Vincent ! ace-eco.org/vol20/iss1/a...

Happy of this new pub highlighting Black-backed Woodpeckers benefit from pulse resources created by stands affected by the hemlock looper despite salvaged logging operations on 38% of the affected stands. BBWO is not all about post-fire habitats 🤓
Kudos Myriam & Vincent! ace-eco.org/vol20/iss1/a...

Hudson Bay polar bears are incredibly spread out over the Bay this year. Some years they pile up in one area but not this year. Still lots of missing ice in the eastern part of the Bay. Hopefully bears that summered on land there made it onto the ice.

Post-doc position in modeling => ACCFor project (Mitigating climate change by the forest sector /Atténuation du changement climatique par le secteur forêt).
(start in may 2025)

This was a great collaboration from various partners!
Geolocator retrievals in Québec has been done under strict pandemic restrictions, with very hard autorisation to get, but it paid off with such neat results!! 🤓
Congrats Jelany Duali for having led to success this publication!

Euphagus carolinus (Rusty Blackbird) from two different breeding populations in northeastern North America exhibit chain migration yet use the same region for stopover Abstract. Bird populations within the same species may follow different migratory strategies and phenology depending on their breeding location and latitud

Brand new!! We studied 2 populations of Rusty Blackbird in eastern North America using NanoTag transmitters (Motus Tracking System) to determine migratory routes, stopover locations, & wintering areas.
Huge kudos to Jacob Walker for having greatly led this work!

Thanks @fungaldreamteam.bsky.social ! It was a real pleasure to work with Jake, he is very talented and pleasante person!! 🤓
