Unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly called drones, are being increasingly used in ecological research, in particular to approach sensitive wildlife in inaccessible areas. Impact studies leading to…
The energetic cost of humoral immunity in the Collared Dove, Streptopelia decaocto: is the magnitude sufficient to force energy‐based trade‐offs?
- C. Eraud, O. Duriez, O. Chastel, B. Faivre
- Biology
- 1 February 2005
Evidence is provided that the degradation of body condition should be considered as an important additional cost of humoral immunity in the context of a resource-based trade-off between immunocompetence and fitness-relevant traits.

During seasons when food abundance and flight conditions were not limited, vultures seemed to favour light over heavy feeding stations, probably because of the reduced intraspecific competition and a pattern closer to the natural dispersion of resources in the landscape.
Phylogeography of the capercaillie in Eurasia: what is the conservation status in the Pyrenees and Cantabrian Mounts?
- O. Duriez, Jean-Marie Sachet, E. Ménoni, N. Pidancier, C. Miquel, P. Taberlet
- Environmental Science, BiologyConservation Genetics
- 20 April 2007
It is found that populations from Pyrenees and Cantabrians are closely related but are different from all other capercaillie populations that form a homogenous clade, and these South-Western populations should be considered as forming an Evolutionary Significant Unit that needs an appropriate management at a local scale.
Regulation of chick provisioning in the thin-billed prion : an interannual comparison and manipulation of parents
- O. Duriez, H. Weimerskirch, H. Fritz
- Environmental Science
- 1 July 2000
The results show that parents regulate their provisioning according to their body mass, which is the main factor influencing decisions concerning energy allocation between current reproduction and survival in this small long- lived seabird.
LOW LEVELS OF ENERGY EXPENDITURE IN A NOCTURNAL, FOREST-DWELLING WADER, THE EURASIAN WOODCOCK SCOLOPAX RUSTICOLA
- O. Duriez, Laurence Pastout-Lucchini, J. Clobert
- Environmental Science
- 2004
The energetic requirements of Eurasian woodcocks are lower than those of typical waders living in windy unsheltered habitats, which in turn may lead to their low BMR.
Visual abilities in two raptors with different ecology

Differences in visual acuity, foveal specialization and visual field between Harris's hawks, Parabuteo unicinctus, and black kites, Milvus migrans, may reflect differences in the perceptual demands of their foraging behaviours.
The price of success: integrative long‐term study reveals ecotourism impacts on a flagship species at a UNESCO site
- F. Monti, O. Duriez, D. Grémillet
- Environmental Science

Disturbance of wildlife by ecotourism has become a major concern in the last decades. In the Mediterranean, sea‐based tourism and related recreational activities are increasing rapidly, especially…
Estimating survival and movements using both live and dead recoveries: a case study of oystercatchers confronted with habitat change
- O. Duriez, S. Sæther, M. Klaassen
- Environmental Science
- 1 February 2009
This work analysed movements and survival of adult wintering oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus in response to the 1986–1987 partial closure of the Oosterschelde in the Dutch Delta, and developed a novel variant of a multistate capture–recapture model allowing simultaneous estimation of survival and movement between sites.
