Research Fields
My research covers wildlife and wetland ecology and management. The main focus of my research has been the study of multiple anthropogenic stressors on species and habitats along the land-sea continuum.
I have particularly focused my research on game species with special emphasis on Anatidae. I have studied their ecology (from foraging ecology to habitat use) on their wintering, staging and breeding ground in Europe.
I am studying the mechanisms that drive their population dynamic, their habitat choice and their habitat quality in order to provide management and monitoring tools to managers and decision makers.
My current projects focus on the impact of anthropogenic and natural changes on the population dynamic of waterbirds, their food chain and water quality.
My aim is to promote sustainable practices and drive positive environmental change.

MALE-LOOKING FEMALE DUCK? BROKEN BILLS?
As part of the DISRUPT project, I am gathering sightings of female waterbirds with male plumage, but also broken bills. Contact me if you made such observation, please provide the location, date, and if possible a picture of the bird.
