We've got a summer read for you. It's all about foraging bees and ecological modeling.
Anouk Glad spent two years working on this topic as part of a postdoctoral fellowship in partnership with TerrOïko, which has just resulted in the publication of an article in the journal Ecological Modelling (*).
In it, Anouk details the work she has done with SimOïko, our species life simulation software.
Her goal was to improve the modeling of wild bees' movements when they go out to forage, taking into account the impact that the landscape can have on their movements and therefore on their pollination activity

One city, two design offices, one ambition: concrete transformations in the service of biodiversity.
Take a proactive local authority, two consulting firms with complementary expertise, and recommendations that can be immediately implemented in the field.
In a short time, you will see concrete changes that benefit biodiversity.
This is exactly what happened a few weeks ago in the town of Saint-Louis, in Alsace.
TerrOïko and DarkSkyLab were commissioned to identify the town's dark sky areas and propose associated public lighting management actions.
In just a few days, the local authority took action to implement several of our recommendations:

CRERCO 2025 seminar: regional planning and the ERC challenge
A thesis and you move on?
In fact, the opposite is true.
Three years ago, our colleague Jules Boileau finished his thesis on the integration of the ERC sequence (avoid, reduce, compensate) into regional planning.
Since then, he has been taking the message all over France. And the lines are moving in the regions.
