I just submitted to Oikos a paper entitled "Individual heterogeneity and
capture-recapture models: what, why and how?". A pre-print is available
[here](http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/03/26/120683). I also provide R codes
on GitHub [there](http://bit.ly/2nqWzoZ).
Our report (in French) on foresighting wolf population dynamic in France is available from
[here](https://t.co/a6ibQoF7Nr). My contribution was mostly based on
the work of my present or former students, including L. Marescot, J. Louvrier and S. Cubaynes.
We held our annual 5-day [capture-recapture workshop](https://multievent.sciencesconf.org/) in Montpellier. As always, the attendees had challenging questions and stimulating datasets to analyse! Looking forward to next year.
Isabelle Arpin, a sociologist from Grenoble, organised a 2-day seminar on
interdisciplinarity. The idea was for the participants to share their
experience in practicing interdisciplinarity.
I spent 3 days in Berlin at the [Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife
Research](http://www.leibniz-izw.de/welcome.html) catching up with friends and
colleagues (L. Marescot, S. Benhaim, S. Kramer-Schadt, A. Courtiol, H. Hofer).
We organized a meeting between our lab and [Praxiling](http://www.praxiling.fr/?lang=en) a lab working in linguistic to explore potential collaborations between ecology and linguistic. Marie Chandelier and I gave a talk on our recent results on a content analysis we performed on wolf recovery in France and its coverage by newspapers.
We had our first meeting for the project “Climate and management effects on COMmunity dynamics – Developing multi-species DEMOgraphy"funded by ANR. The website is operational and running, check it out here.
We had our first meeting for the project “Scenarios for coexistence between men and dolphins on the Mediterranean French littoral” funded by Fondation de France. The website is operational and running, check it out here.
We organised a 2-day workshop on the metrics of longevity used in human and animal demography. The idea is to explore potential bridges between the two fields. Next meeting in April.
