research interests

My main focus is how animals respond to changes in the ecosystem after a fire event. I want to understand the following:

- how specific animal groups promote ecosystem recovery and at what rate;

- find potential differences in community composition after fire events that can lead to new communities or habitats;

- the benefits of post-fire mitigation measures in ecosystem recovery.

Other interests are:

- Use audiovisual tools to develop new methodologies for field data collection and science communication.

- Explore the significance of artificial ecosystems in regions experiencing significant human disturbance.

- Develop conservation measures in highly diverse areas and for endangered species affected by climate change and human-induced alterations.
