Overview

Renaud Scheifler is affiliated with the University of Franche-Comté in France and has contributed extensively to environmental science research. Their work primarily focuses on health, toxicology, and mutagenesis, as well as ecology, paleontology, anthropology, and pollution within the broader environmental science discipline.

The scientist has authored multiple papers addressing various aspects of environmental toxicology and wildlife ecology. Notable recent publications include:

  • Pervasive exposure of wild small mammals to legacy and currently used pesticide mixtures in arable landscapes (2022, Scientific Reports)
  • Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contents in micro-volumes of the whole blood and liver of Red Kite by a simplified GC-MS/MS method (2020, International Journal of Environmental & Analytical Chemistry)
  • Isotopic Ecology in Modern and Holocene Populations of Pampas Deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) from Eastern Central Argentina. Implications for Conservation Biology and Ecological Models of Hunter-gatherer Subsistence (2020, Environmental Archaeology)
  • Effects of chronic exposure to toxic metals on haematological parameters in free-ranging small mammals (2022, Environmental Pollution)
  • Minor and trace element concentrations in roe deer hair: A non-invasive method to define reference values in wildlife (2024, Ecological Indicators)

Research topics covered in their work include wildlife ecology and conservation, mercury impact and mitigation studies, heavy metal exposure and toxicity, environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology, animal ecology and behavior studies, effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals, and studies related to Pleistocene-era hominins and archaeology.

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Renaud Scheifler include Clémentine Fritsch, Francis Raoul, Sonia Saïd, François Débias, and Pauline Vuarin. These collaborations suggest active participation in integrated research efforts within their field.

Publications by Scheifler have appeared repeatedly in several venues, with Environmental Pollution and SSRN Electronic Journal hosting multiple papers. Other publication venues include Scientific Reports, International Journal of Environmental & Analytical Chemistry, and Environmental Archaeology.
