Henri Weimerskirch, directeur au Centre d’Études Biologiques de Chizé, nous parle de ses travaux sur les oiseaux marins

Henri Weimerskirch is a researcher at the Chizé Centre for Biological Studies that belongs to the Institut Ecologie et Environnement (INEE), department of the CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research). He is manager of the « Ecologie des Oiseaux et Mammifères Marins » team. He studies seabirds (albatros, petrels, fregates, boobies and penguins) and has three major research themes: the study of the impact of resource abundance and distribution on the breeding strategies of seabirds, the study of populations dynamics and the study of the evolution of life-history traits (influence of individual age, senescence, sex ratio, dispersion).
He answered our questions, that are based on some of his publications.
