CV

My research focuses on marine animal ecology and conservation, particularly the study of the foraging strategies and ecological roles of seabirds and other apex predators, of wider trophic relationships in marine communities, as sentinels of environmental integrity and Human-related pressures. I gained diverse field and analytical expertise on biologging, ecosystem modelling and advanced statistics. I partition my time between scientific publishing (155 ISI papers, 2 books and 2 book chapters), lecturing (Conservation Biology, Biodiversity Conservation and Management, Coastal and Marine Ornithology, Evolutionary Biogeography and Spatial Modelling, Introduction to Marine Policy, Project in Applied Biology and Biology of Marine Vertebrates), outreach actions (e.g. FCTUC Lab @ schools) and supervising students (17 PhD, 52 MSc and 20 internships).
