The general research
My research focuses on the paleobiology of Plio-Pleistocene hominins with a particular interest in the evolutionary and adaptive contexts from which the genus Homo emerged.

Research support mission
I ensure the implementation and the proper functioning of our palaeomagnetic lab. I process research requests from researchers in our unit as well as other researchers from third-party institutions (in form of collaborations).

Main research
My research focuses on the palaeoecology of large herbivores from the European Pleistocene. I analyse their responses to past climatic oscillations in order to anticipate their future ecological trajectories under the combined pressures of global warming and anthropisation.

Currently affiliated with the CFEE in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Main research
I study the evolutionary history of extinct large mammals, their impact on their fossil ecosystems, and the factors that shaped their paleobiology.

Research support mission
My work involves organizing field missions and associated excavations, particularly in Southeast Asia. The search for new sites in the region’s sedimentary basins (Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos) is of paramount importance and requires an extensive network of communication with the regional Earth sciences community.

My research aims at studying primate locomotion (notably apes and humans) in order to understand the relationships between primate behavior and their ecosystem, and the role of such an interaction in the course of human evolution.

Main research
My research aims at better understanding the mechanisms driving the evolutionary dynamics of communities and ecosystems. I am particularly interested in the evolution of interactions between carnivoran mammals (lions, saber-toothed cats, hyaenas, dogs…) and hominins in eastern Africa from the Miocene to the Pleistocene.

Gildas Merceron
CNRS Senior Researcher
Main research
My research aims at exploring the ecology of mammals to assess the underlying mechanisms of their evolutionary history. This also provides inescapable proxies to depict the available vegetal resources needed to reconstruct past ecosystems and their changes through time.
