The authors
Kevin A. Judge
Kevin Judge received his BSc from the College of Biological Sciences at the University of Guelph in 1997 and his MSc from the Department of Zoology, University of Guelph in 1999. He is an ecologist with experience in conservation biology. He worked for four summers (1996-1999) on a long-term amphibian monitoring project in Algonquin Provincial Park and for two summers (1995, 2000) on projects involving the federally endangered blue racer snake. Kevin has also worked for the Canadian Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Network to set up an Important Amphibian and Reptile Areas program (1999-2000). Recently (summers of 2000 and 2001), he worked on a population study of the federally listed (Special Concern) southern flying squirrel. He is currently attending the University of Toronto at Mississauga where he is working on a PhD in behavioural ecology.
Martine Haviernick
Diplômée en biologie de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (Québec, Canada,1993) et titulaire d’une maîtrise en biologie de l’Université de Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada, 1996), son domaine de spécialisation est l’écologie animale, particulièrement, l’écologie des mammifères. Son projet de recherche en maîtrise « La stratégie alimentaire de la chèvre de montagne: étude de l’utilisation de l’habitat et du comportement anti-prédateur » s’intéressait à l’utilisation de l’habitat en fonction de la qualité des ressources et du risque de prédation dans le milieu. Suite à ses études, elle a effectué un stage de recherche pour l’Office National de la Chasse (France, 1997) ayant pour sujet le comportement prédateur du lynx d’Europe. Son expérience en France l’a ensuite menée (1998) à participer à une étude sur les moyens de protection des troupeaux d’animaux domestiques contre les attaques de prédateurs. Cette étude visait le ciblage de techniques susceptibles de réduire le nombre d’attaques par le loup sur les troupeaux de moutons en alpage français. M. Haviernick a ensuite travaillé pour un chercheur de l’Université McGill (Québec, Canada, 1999) sur une revue de littérature concernant l’utilisation de la radiotélémétrie dans les études de biologie. En 1999, elle a aussi agi à titre de consultante pour le Ministère de l’Agriculture et de l’Agroalimentaire du Canada. En plus de l’écologie animale, elle compte parmi ses intérêts la conservation et la gestion des ressources.
