I am interested in the vast response diversity of animals, and more precisely how some individuals seem to cope better in the light of climate change than others. I primarily worked on understanding the individual behavioural (foraging behaviour, parental care and breeding synchronisation) and physiological (telomere measurements, oxidative status, hormones) responses to different environmental conditions. I have a particular interest in birds, and am mostly experienced in finches, but I also had the chance to work on projects on turtles in Costa Rica and cetaceans in the Strait of Gibraltar.
I am currently working as a research assistant at the Behavioral Ecology Department, where I am involved in research and education. The main scientific projects I am currently working on aim to increase our knowledge of the behavioural ecology and breeding cooperation of wild zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) and speckled mousebirds (Colius striatus) using novel radio-tracking systems. You can find more about my research and work here, or on the group's webpage.
