My PhD projet aims to understand the ecological mechanisms explaining the spatial and temporal occurrence of mammal communities and species in anthropogenic landscapes and to study their success or failure to persist in those landscapes. The objectives are to improve our understanding on how anthropogenic environment affect mammals communities, describe how human are influencing wildlife distribution and explain individual strategies of small carnivores in anthropogenic landscapes. It will document the role of protected area and their immediate buffer area in conserving functional communities, and how associated human dominated landscape may facilitate the conservation effort, at species and community level.
