Biosketch

As an integrative zoologist, I study the fauna of urban and agricultural freshwater ecosystems using an interdisciplinary approach. I combine knowledge from physiology, ecology, and veterinary to understand how habitat quality affects animals' health and the structure of their communities. My research, initially focused on fish, has expanded to a broader ecosystem approach, examining the interactions between plants, water quality, and various animal groups. Ultimately, my research aims to promote more sustainable practices in these human-modified ecosystems, benefiting both wildlife and people.
