We investigated the effect of time of season on the accuracy of species number estimation from point-count data collected at 28 oases from southern Tunisia. Each oasis was visited at the beginning of...

Despite the fact that parasite dispersal is likely to be one of the most important processes influencing the dynamics and coevolution of host-parasite interactions, little information is available on...
Local adaptation of the ectoparasite Ixodes uriae to its seabird host (2002)
McCoy,Karen D., Boulinier,Thierry, Schjørring,Solveig, Michalakis,Yannis
In addition to reproductive rates and generation times, local parasite adaptation is predicted to be associated with relative host/parasite migration rates, parasite virulence and local resource...

Colonies as byproducts of commodity selection (2000)
Wagner, Richard H., Danchin, Etienne, Boulinier, Thierry, Helfenstein, Fabrice
Higher temporal variability of forest breeding bird communities in fragmented landscapes
Boulinier, Thierry, Nichols, James D., Hines, James E., Sauer, John R., Flather, Curtis H., Pollock, Kenneth H.
Understanding the relationship between animal community dynamics and landscape structure has become a priority for biodiversity conservation. In particular, predicting the effects of habitat...
Sexual selection affects local extinction and turnover in bird communities
Doherty, Paul F., Sorci, Gabriele, Royle, J. Andrew, Hines, James E., Nichols, James D., Boulinier, Thierry
Predicting extinction risks has become a central goal for conservation and evolutionary biologists interested in population and community dynamics. Several factors have been put forward to explain...

Spatio-temporal dynamics of species richness in coastal fish communities.
Lekve, Kyrre, Boulinier, Thierry, Stenseth, Nils Chr, Gjøsaeter, Jakob, Fromentin, Jean-Marc, Hines, James E, ...
Determining patterns of change in species richness and the processes underlying the dynamics of biodiversity are of key interest within the field of ecology, but few studies have investigated the...
Recurrent evolution of host-specialized races in a globally distributed parasite
McCoy, Karen D, Chapuis, Elodie, Tirard, Claire, Boulinier, Thierry, Michalakis, Yannis, Bohec, Céline Le, ...
The outcome of coevolutionary interactions is predicted to vary across landscapes depending on local conditions and levels of gene flow, with some populations evolving more extreme specializations...
Kittiwakes strategically reduce investment in replacement clutches
Gasparini, Julien, Roulin, Alexandre, Gill, Verena A, Hatch, Scott A, Boulinier, Thierry
Many life-history traits are expressed interactively in life, but to a varying extent on different occasions. Changes in trait expression can be accounted for by differences in the quality of the...

Factors affecting dispersal and recruitment in animal populations will play a prominent role in the dynamics of populations. This is particularly the case for subdivided populations where the...
Public information affects breeding dispersal in a colonial bird: kittiwakes cue on neighbours
Boulinier, Thierry, McCoy, Karen D, Yoccoz, Nigel G, Gasparini, Julien, Tveraa, Torkild
Habitat selection and dispersal behaviour are key processes in evolutionary ecology. Recent studies have suggested that individuals may use the reproductive performance of conspecifics as a source of...
