Research projects
My work in the acridology team of CIRAD-CBGP is mainly focusing on desert locust in Western Africa. Since 2010, I'm working on two main axes :
- Phenotypic plasticity of Schistocerca gregaria
In this axis, we are trying to understand deeper the processes linked to phase polyphenism of desert locust.
- In 2011-2012 a first project in collaboration with Marie-Pierre Chapuis, Christine Pagès and Benjamin Pélissié, showed us some parental and heritable effects of some growth-related individual parameters.
- Since 2012, I'm collaborating with Koutaro Maeno to test maternal effects on survival and behavior of hatchlings.
- In 2014-2017, the co-supervision of Jamila Dkhili, PhD candidate at the Ibn Zohr University of Agadir, documented the vegetation effect on group behavior of desert locusts hoppers. We were using Individual-Based Models and laboratory experiments.
- Modeling of gregarization risk of Schistocerca gregaria
In this axis, we link environment, population levels and phase of desert locust in order to develop tools that could help in preventive management.
-
In 2010-2012, a first project in collaboration with Valentine
Lebourgeois, Michel Lecoq and other team members analysed NDVI/MODIS maps and time series coupled with survey data from the national center of locust control of Mauritania (CNLA).
This work proposed a methodology to spatially show the potential gregarization risk of desert locust from satellite images.
- In 2014, a project for the Centre Royal de Télédétection Spatiale of Morocco
allowed to improve the methodology and make it an operational tool for the National Anti-locust center of Morocco.
- In 2012-2014, I worked with Sory Cissé, a PhD student from Mali under a grant from CLCPRO/FAO, who was studying density thresholds of gregarization from historical data and field observations.
- In 2015-2017, we worked with IsardSAT and CESBIO on a project about soil moisture financed by ESA: the SMELLS project.
- Since 2017, I'm co-supervisor of Mathias Kayalto, PhD candidate at the Ibn Zohr University of Agadir, who is working on geomorphological impacts on gregarization risk in Tchad.
- Since 2019, we are working on the ANR-JCJC PEPPER
project that uses agent-based modelling to integrate knowlege about biology and ecology of desert locust in order to improve knowledge and forecasting risks associated to phase polyphenism.
