معرفی
Guillaume Rieucau is an Associate Professor at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), where he leads the Rieucau Lab focused on marine behavioral ecology. His research examines collective behavior in fish, predator-prey dynamics, and environmental responses using innovative technologies like 4D sonar and behavioral modeling.
Education
- Ph.D., Biology, Université du Québec à Montréal, 2010
- M.S., Biology, Université du Québec à Montréal, 2005
- M.S., Populations and Ecosystems Biology, Université Paul Sabatier, 2002
- B.A., Organisms and Populations Biology, Université Paul Sabatier, 2001
Research Focus
Rieucau's work integrates behavioral ecology with marine conservation, investigating:
- Mechanisms of fish schooling and information transfer
- Predator-induced fear responses in marine ecosystems
- Impact of anthropogenic changes on aquatic behavior
- Novel monitoring techniques like bioacoustics and 3D animation
Publication Trends
Recent publications (2011-2017) demonstrate consistent focus on collective anti-predator behavior in marine fish, with methodological innovations in behavioral observation. Key themes include density-dependent schooling responses, threat-sensitivity gradients, and acoustic conditioning effects, primarily studied in herring and estuarine species.
Laboratory
The Rieucau Lab investigates marine behavioral ecology through field studies and controlled experiments, specializing in quantitative analysis of collective dynamics and environmental responses in aquatic organisms.
