Olivier Devineau

Olivier Devineau is a Professor at the University of Inland Norway, affiliated with the Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology and the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management. He leads the LARGE research group focusing on large animal ecology. His research emphasizes wildlife population dynamics, predator-prey interactions, and conservation strategies in boreal and alpine ecosystems. Notable areas include rodent demography, carnivore behavior, and the ecological impacts of grazing practices. Recent work explores technological applications like accelerometry and camera traps for wildlife monitoring. He has published extensively on topics such as moose mortality patterns, lynx activity tracking, and bumblebee conservation in traditional farming systems.

His research integrates field studies, ecological modeling, and innovative sensor technologies to address challenges in wildlife management and biodiversity preservation. Collaborations span Scandinavian and global ecosystems, with a focus on mitigating human-wildlife conflicts and climate-driven ecological changes. His contributions highlight interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and conserving large animal populations and their habitats.
