Research Interests:
- The behavioural and evolutionary ecology of birds. Foraging strategies, mating systems, sexual segregation and sexual dimorphism.
- The migration and spatial distribution of seabirds in relation to ocean features. In particular, the comparison of the seabird movements tracked by remote systems (e.g. light level geolocation or satellite telemetry) with oceanographic variables obtained by satellite remote sensing systems of the sea surface (e.g. primary production, sea surface temperature, winds, etc). The use of geographic information systems (GIS) to model seabird distributions.
- The use of biomarkers, such as stable isotopes and pollutants, to trace seabird migration and distribution. The use of seabirds as bioindicators of the geographic and temporal variability of pollution in the marine environment.
