	Matthieu Le Corre (Senior Lecturer) heads the Seabird Team and has been researching seabirds in the Western Indian Ocean for over 15 years, mainly in the Iles Eparses, at Réunion Island, in the Seychelles and in Madagascar. For a full list of Matthieu's publications refer to “Publications”. Matthieu is also supervisor of the second year of the Masters “Biodiversity and Tropical ecosystems”.
	Sébastien Jaquemet (Lecturer) completed his PhD with Matthieu Le Corre in 2005 on the biology of sooty terns on the Iles Eparses. After a one year post-doc in Rhodes University (South Africa) he returned to Reunion where he continues his research in stable isotope methods.
	James Russell joined the Seabird Team in 2007 for a one year postdoc postition researching "multi-trophic interactions of introduced and native species on the Iles Eparses". James completed his PhD in 2007 in New Zealand researching the invasion biology of introduced rats on islands. Visit James' webpage research page
	Patrick Pinet started his PhD in 2007 under the supervision of Matthieu Le Corre researching the population biology, ecology and conservation of the endemic and endangered Barau's petrel on Réunion Island. Visit Patrick's webpage research page
	Etienne Bemanaja started his thesis in 2005 under the direction of Matthieu Le Corre and Manwai Rabenevanana (University of Tuléar, Madagascar) on the ecology and conservation of seabirds on the islands of the southeastern coast of Madagascar. He is based to Tuléar and makes regular to the laboratory ECOMAR.
	Teresa Catry started her thesis in 2005 under the direction of Jaime Ramos (University of Coimbra, Portugal) and Matthieu The Corre. Teresa studies the trophic ecology of different types of seabird communities in the granitic Seychelles. Teresa is based in Coimbra and makes regular visits to the Seychelles and to the laboratory ECOMAR.
