Overview

Yves Cherel is affiliated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France. Their research primarily focuses on Environmental Science, with a significant body of work exploring ecology, health and toxicology, global and planetary change, and oceanography, especially related to marine environments.

The scientist's recent publications include studies on mercury and marine pollution, as well as genomic insights related to marine species. Notable papers are:

  • In Vivo Formation of HgSe Nanoparticles and Hg-Tetraselenolate Complex from Methylmercury in Seabirds-Implications for the Hg-Se Antagonism, 2021, Environmental Science & Technology
  • Mercury isotopes of key tissues document mercury metabolic processes in seabirds, 2020, Chemosphere
  • Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds, 2023, Nature Communications
  • The Indian Ocean 'garbage patch': Empirical evidence from floating macro-litter, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • Genomic insights into the secondary aquatic transition of penguins, 2022, Nature Communications

Cherel's work involves collaboration with several frequent coauthors including Paco Bustamante, Karine Delord, David Amouroux, Richard A. Phillips, and Alice Carravieri. These collaborations corroborate a multidisciplinary approach in their scientific endeavors related to marine ecology and toxicology.

The scientist's contributions are regularly published in established journals such as Marine Ecology Progress Series, Marine Biology, Deep Sea Research Part I Oceanographic Research Papers, Polar Biology, and Environmental Science & Technology. The higher frequency of publications in these venues indicates a sustained research interest in marine environmental science and ecological processes.

Subjects prominently covered in Cherel's research include:

  • Isotope Analysis in Ecology
  • Marine animal studies overview
  • Marine and fisheries research
  • Mercury impact and mitigation studies
  • Avian ecology and behavior
  • Cephalopods and Marine Biology
  • Ichthyology and Marine Biology

In addition to articles, Cherel has contributed to book publications with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, including titles such as Les îles Saint-Paul et Amsterdam (océan Indien sud). Environnement marin et pêcheries released in 2023.
