Overview

Marc Théry was affiliated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France. Their research primarily focused on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences with particular emphasis on global and planetary change, ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The scientific work covered key topics including:

  • Impact of light on environment and health
  • Circadian rhythm and melatonin
  • Animal behavior and reproduction
  • Plant and animal studies
  • Primate behavior and ecology
  • Urban green space and health
  • Ecology and vegetation dynamics studies

The scientist contributed to a range of peer-reviewed publications across multiple venues. Recent papers included:

  • Artificial light at night alters the sexual behaviour and fertilisation success of the common toad, 2020, Environmental Pollution
  • Floral trait functional diversity is related to soil characteristics and positively influences pollination function in semi-natural grasslands, 2020, Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment
  • A lot of convergence, a bit of divergence: Environment and interspecific interactions shape body colour patterns in Lissotriton newts, 2022, Journal of Evolutionary Biology
  • Light pollution and habitat fragmentation in the grey mouse lemur, 2024, Scientific Reports
  • Light pollution and habitat fragmentation in the grey mouse lemur, 2023, Research Square (Research Square)

The frequent coauthors with whom Théry collaborated included:

  • Thomas Le Tallec
  • Clara Hozer
  • Martine Perret
  • Jean Secondi
  • Morgane Touzot

Publications were often found in venues associated with environmental and ecological disciplines, such as:

  • Environmental Pollution
  • Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment
  • Journal of Evolutionary Biology
  • Scientific Reports
  • Research Square (Research Square)

The scientific contributions by Marc Théry encompassed studies on how environmental factors such as light pollution influence animal behavior, reproduction, and ecological dynamics. Their work integrated multidisciplinary approaches within environmental science and biology, addressing topics relevant to both ecosystem function and organismal biology.
