Job Description
Thesis Subject
Small vertebrates are more sensitive to environmental changes than large fauna, due to their size and limited mobility, particularly in Europe. Research on the fossil populations of these groups provides valuable information for current conservation practices, as well as insights into extinction processes and responses to climate change. The objectives of the IRP project 'Evolution of ecological niches in rodents over time' are as follows: 1) To evaluate the relevance of mechanistic or predictive niche models for integrating biotic and abiotic factors into the distribution of modern species. 2) Application to key rodent species (e.g. Dicrostonyx, Apodemus) and communities. 3) Integrate fossil data and understand the past niche structuring of a species within communities.
