René is the founder and spiritual father of the 119 program. Originally initiated on the study of the Emperor penguin ( Aptenodytes fosterii ) in Antarctica, then continued on the king penguin ( A patagonicus ) in the Crozet Islands, René's research program was interested in understanding the physiology of fasting, and in particular the biochemical and behavioral adaptations allowing penguins to withstand long periods of fasting on the ground without metabolic sequelae, and while maintaining reproductive activity. The ECONERGY (119) program that he initiated has flourished and has been reinforced over the years, addressing behavioral, physiological and ecological themes, concerning king penguins, all considered in an evolutionary framework. Today the program has the specificity to address the adaptations of these fantastic animals to their environment - going from cellular scales, through the scale of the organism and its interactions with the environment, to that of the social group

Retraité

JP a initié les études sur la physiologie des manchots face à des conditions environnementales et sociales difficiles. En 25 ans, il a apporté de larges connaissances sur les adaptations physiologiques de ces espèces à leur cycle de vie particulier, en se penchant notamment sur le jeûne prolongé. Entre 2011 et 2022, il est le responsable du programme polaire 119 (IPEV) et mène une approche pluri-disciplinaire dans le but de démêler les sources proximale et ultimes de la variation individuelle dans la reproduction et les stratégies alimentaires chez les manchots.

Since its creation, the 119 program has participated annually in training through the research of young professionals becoming experts in ecology, ecophysiology and evolutionary biology.
