Anne-Mathilde Thierry (amthierry@gmail.com) is a guest scientist at the Department of Terrestrial Ecology of the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and holds a postdoctoral fellowship at the Université du Québec à Rimouski for 2015. Her research is focused on understanding how animals, populations, and ecosystems respond to predictable and non-predictable changes of their environment, especially in polar regions. She is interested in applying methods and tools from different fields, such as physiology and modelisation, to conservation and wildlife management. Originially from rural Normandie, France, Anne-Mathilde received her Ph.D. in Ecology from the Université de Strasbourg, France in 2013, studying the physiological ecology of Adélie penguins. She is now working on various aspects of Arctic fox biology and ecology, from disturbance to dispersal, population supplementation, and supplementary feeding, in the context of the conservation efforts conducted in Scandinavia. She is a member of the Association of Early-Career Polar Scientists (APECS), and co-founded the French national committee of APECS in 2013, which she co-chairs. (October 2015)
