Projects

ACACIA

Adapting to cities and climate change in interaction

ANR · 2023–2027

PI: Charmantier

This projects uses the great tit as a model to investigate how urban and forest populations respond to warming, combining common-garden experiments, long-term monitoring in the wild and participatory research with schools.

OSU-OREME

Long-term monitoring of tits in the wild

OSU-OREME · since 2009

PI: Charmantier, Doutrelant

This long-term monitoring programme follows blue and great tits across several study sites in Corsica and mainland France, providing individual-based data on breeding, life history, behaviour and population dynamics.

POLLUNOCT

Impact of anthropogenic nocturnal pollution on biological rhythms

UM-IDIL · 2025–2028

PI: Caro, Bonnefont

This projects studies if anthropogenic nighttime pollution affects biological rhythms in birds, combining behavioural, physiological and molecular approaches to understand how artificial light and noise disrupt circadian and seasonal processes.

SEE-Life

Long-term monitoring of tits in the wild

INEE-CNRS · since 2023

PI: Charmantier, Doutrelant, Teplitsky

This long-term monitoring programme follows blue and great tits across several study sites in Corsica and mainland France, providing individual-based data on breeding, life history, behaviour and population dynamics.

SoSelect

Impact of social effects on eco-evolutionary responses in a changing environment

ANR · 2027–2032

PI: Teplitsky

Evolutionary consequences of not being alone: how are social interactions with neighbours and kins shaping evolutionary potential and selection?
