Pierre-Hadrien Mortier

With 4 years of experience in ecology and a research-oriented background, I can train you or work for you to establish scientific state-of-the-art reviews, automate tasks, or conduct studies.

My skills are mainly focused on flora/habitats/phytosociology in field surveys, but I can also work on ornithology, mammals, or wild bees. I have worked on all sorts of sites: peat bogs, meadows, forests, dunes, calcareous environments, riparian forests, etc.

I can automate your tedious tasks, which is a rather "rare" skill and its usefulness is greatly underestimated in the field: automatic species list completion, QGIS plugins, map templates, SVG symbols, optimization of work on QGIS, data analysis, etc.

Finally, I can provide you with tailor-made scientific state-of-the-art reviews: written summaries or in slide format, or train you to develop them more quickly using current tools (Zotero, Research Rabbit, ZotAI). This area is also largely underestimated and yet essential for consulting and ecological studies, which encompass a wide range of subjects (management, immense diversity of species and habitats, urban environments, low-tech and high-tech systems, "black box" effects leading to "false good ideas"). Controversial topics are good examples: rodent management, domestic bee hives, local plants, etc.

Furthermore, I can think about innovative systems (building inspections, cameras) and develop protocols, help you choose the right ones.
