François Mougeot is affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council in Spain. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Within these fields, they have contributed extensively to subfields such as ecology, nature and landscape conservation, genetics, insect science, and ecological modeling.

The scientist's research topics cover a range of ecological and environmental themes. These include:

  • Wildlife ecology and conservation
  • Avian ecology and behavior
  • Animal ecology and behavior studies
  • Ecology and vegetation dynamics studies
  • Insect and pesticide research
  • Yersinia bacterium, plague, ectoparasites research
  • Species distribution and climate change

François Mougeot's recent publications reflect a strong focus on the impact of environmental factors and agricultural practices on bird populations and wildlife. Some of the recent papers include:

  • "Changing the fallow paradigm: A win-win strategy for the post-2020 Common Agricultural Policy to halt farmland bird declines," 2020, Journal of Applied Ecology
  • "Birds feeding on tebuconazole treated seeds have reduced breeding output," 2020, Environmental Pollution
  • "Bird exposure to fungicides through the consumption of treated seeds: A study of wild red-legged partridges in central Spain," 2021, Environmental Pollution
  • "Tracking data highlight the importance of human-induced mortality for large migratory birds at a flyway scale," 2024, Biological Conservation
  • "Multi-level analysis of exposure to triazole fungicides through treated seed ingestion in the red-legged partridge," 2020, Environmental Research

The scientist frequently publishes in notable academic journals, with multiple contributions to:

  • Biological Conservation
  • Environmental Science & Technology
  • Environmental Pollution
  • Scientific Reports
  • The Science of The Total Environment

François Mougeot often collaborates with a core group of co-authors. These include Beatriz Arroyo, Juán José Luque-Larena, Manuel E. Ortiz-Santaliestra, Gérard Bota, and Rafael Mateo.

In addition to journal papers, François Mougeot has contributed to books, such as the one published through Sociedad Española de Ornitología (SEO/BirdLife) eBooks: "La ganga ibérica y la ganga ortega en España, población reproductora en 2019 y método de censo," published in 2021.
