	Franck Courchamp (Directeur de Recherche CNRS). I work on population dynamics for conservation biology. More about my work here
	Carmen Bessa-Gomes (Assistant Professor - AgroParisTech). Carmen works on the links between population dynamics and social systems, and in particular on Allee effects in vultures and in primates.
	Elsa Bonnaud (Assistant Professor - Univ Paris Sud). Elsa works on invasive species, with a focus on feral cats on islands. Her new project involves taking into account the effects of climate change on biological invasions.
	Céline Bellard (PhD student). Céline works on the impact of climate change on insular biodiversity.
	Cleo Bertelsmeier (PhD student). Cleo works on the effect of climate change on biological invasions of ants.
	Gloria Luque (CNRS Research Engineer). Gloria works on the Allee effects in ants. She also co-supervises Cleo on the effect of climate change on invasive ants.
	Lucille Palazy (PhD Student). Lucille works on the impact of the anthropogenic Allee effect in the market of trophy hunting, in co-supervision with the University of Lyons.
	Liana Joseph (Postdoctoral Fellow). She works on the preference for wild vs farmed species in the wildlife trade and its implication for the conservation in exploited species. This is a co-supervision with the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York, where she spends most of her time.
	Amélie Lootvoet (PhD Student). She works on the impacts of group living on primate population dynamic and extinction risk and is supervised by Carmen Bessa-Gomes.
	Josh Donlan (Invited Professor). Josh Donlan is the Founder and Director of Advanced Conservation Strategies, a Fellow in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University and a Fulbright Fellow. He works in Conservation Biology, and will collaborate with us here on the impact on conservation of the perception of species by people.

	Anne Deredec (PhD Student, then Postdoctoral Fellow). She worked on the interactions between parasitism and Allee effects. She is now a postdoctoral fellow at the Imperial College, London, UK.
	Stéphane Caut (PhD Student, then Postdoctoral Fellow). He worked on the impact of introduced rats on the trophic webs of Surprise Island, New Caledonia, blending field work and stable isotope analyses. He is now Postdoctoral fellow in Spain.
	Leigh Bull (Postdoctoral Fellow). She worked on the impact on introduced rats on French islands worldwide and on the anthropogenic Allee effect. She is now back in New-Zealand.
	Philippe Rivalan (Postdoctoral Fellow). He worked as a teaching postdoc (ATER) on the population dynamics of exploited species with emphasis on the international market of exotic species.
	Elena Angulo (Postdoctoral Fellow). She works on Allee effects and their impact on carnivore populations (African wild dogs, Californian insular foxes), on trophic web interactions or the anthropogenic Allee effect. She is now a postdoc in Spain.
	Richard Hall (Postdoctoral Fellow). He worked on modelling the population dynamics of species subject to overexploitation taking into account particular forms of Allee effect. He is now a postdoc at the University of Georgia, USA.
	Xim Cerda (Invited Professor). He worked on ant community ecology, in particular in the context of biological invasions on islands. He is now back to the Spanish research institute, the CSIC of the Doñana Biological Station.
	Agnès Gault (Postdoctoral Fellow). She worked on the anthropogenic Allee effect in animal-based luxury products, in particular caviar.
	Olivier Marquis (Postdoctoral Fellow). He worked on the invasion biology of the bull frog as well as on the anthropogenic Allee effect in exotic pets.
	Gregory Rasmussen (PhD Student). He worked on the ecology and conservation of African wild dogs, in co-supervision with the WildCRU of Oxford.
	Donna Harris (Postdoctoral Fellow). She worked on the impact of introduced rodents on insular ecosystem and set up a database of French islands overseas. She is now doing a postdoc in Australia.
	Stephen Gregory (PhD Student). He worked as a PhD student on empirical evidence and optimal detection of demographic Allee effects. He is now doing a Postdoc in Australia.
	E.J. Milner-Gulland (Invited Professor). She worked, among other things, on different mathematical models for the conservation of exploited species.
	Elsa Bonnaud (Postdoctoral Fellow). Elsa did a teaching Postdoc (ATER) on the recovery of bird populations after eradication of alien invasive predators from islands, with the example of Surprise Island, New Caledonia. She now has a permanent position in our group.
	Yuya Watari (Postdoctoral Fellow). He worked on the recovery of communities that have been freed of invasive species, with the example of the now rat free Surprise Island, off New Caledonia.
