My interests

Animal telemetry is a subject very close to my heart as it was the theme of my PhD thesis. I have mainly tracked the movements of seabirds with GPS and GLS devices, but I will be soon deploying GPS collars to badgers

In addition to studying animal behaviour through their movements, I have also been involved in more classical studies of animal behaviour, through the study of the consistency and repeatability of behavioural traits and their correlation to from behavioural syndromes. 

Knowing how many animals are there, and how they are distributed in space, is one of the keystones in ecology. In my work, I focus on modelling species distributions using hierarchical Bayesian models. This approach allows me to account for the complexities and uncertainties inherent in ecological data. By combining prior knowledge with observed data, I can make more accurate predictions about where species are likely to occur, even in the face of incomplete or noisy information.
