Julien Hervé Mocq

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, in the Department of Ecosystem Biology, lead by David Boukal. My PhD focused on the fuzzy modelling of Atlantic salmon habitat, at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), in Quebec City (Canada). I am currently working on the trophic interactions between aquatic macroinvertebrates, and the influences of biotic (prey and predator densities and identities, chemical cues…) and abiotic (temperature, habitat complexity…) factors on these interactions.
