Bio-sketchI am an Assistant Professor in Wildlife Habitat Conservation at the University of Maine (USA). Research in my lab is focused on the impact of global change on vertebrate species (mammals and birds). We combine large-scale field-based projects with cutting-edge quantitative approaches. I have conducted field projects in Europe (Italy, Austria), Africa (Kenya, Libya, Mauritania, Tunisia), south-east Asia (Indonesia), Australia and the US.
Below are two links to videos featuring current research projects in my group: Small mammals big personalities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqlXnbIrKTE Carnivores of Maine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bDAlIq9Tq4 and a feature article about our projects umainetoday.umaine.edu/stories/2018/wallflower-or-risk-taker/ |
