Overview

Christophe Bonenfant is affiliated with Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 in France and focuses their research mainly within the field of Environmental Science. Their work is distributed across several subfields including Ecology, Ecological Modeling, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Genetics, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

Their noteworthy research addresses a variety of topics such as Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Species Distribution and Climate Change, Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation, Genetic and Phenotypic Traits in Livestock, and Avian Ecology and Behavior.

Recent significant publications by Bonenfant include:

  • Temporal correlations among demographic parameters are ubiquitous but highly variable across species, 2022, Ecology Letters
  • Revisiting animal photo-identification using deep metric learning and network analysis, 2021, Methods in Ecology and Evolution
  • Comparison of environmental, biological and anthropogenic causes of wildlife-vehicle collisions among three large herbivore species, 2020, Population Ecology
  • Quantifying fixed individual heterogeneity in demographic parameters: Performance of correlated random effects for Bernoulli variables, 2021, Methods in Ecology and Evolution
  • Revisiting animal photo-identification using deep metric learning and network analysis, 2020, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Bonenfant often collaborates with several researchers, including Simon Chamaillé-Jammes, Jean-Michel Gaillard, Lucie Thel, Annaëlle Bénard, and Thierry Lengagne, reflecting frequently repeated coauthorship in their work.

The scientist's articles are commonly published in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Population Ecology, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and Ecology Letters.
