Ève Courtois - Master's Student at Université de Sherbrooke

The main goal of Ève's research is to better understand how tree swallows choose their nest site, and to determine if the installation of nest boxes can lead to non-ideal habitat choice. Tree swallows are aerial insectivores who usually breed in secondary cavities (i.e. tree cavities excavated by another species). Because those cavities are quite rare, they readily use nest boxes, which is why we often install them as a conservation tool.

Ève is a talented science communicator and artist. She recently completed her Master's degree and now spends lots of her time illustrating everyday ecological concepts using her quickly improving graphic design skills. Go visit her Facebook page (Ève Courtois - Illustration) or website (evecourtois.com) to see her most recent work.
