PROGRAM / Conservation biology

I am interested in the study of the ecology, behavior and conservation of megafauna, mainly predators, living in human-exploited ecosystems. I have special interest in understanding their ecological roles in the ecosystems, their trophic relationships at the food-web level and the main ecological and evolutionary factors, including natural and human-mediated factors, that modulate their behavioural patterns, interspecific interactions and distribution patterns. In addition to the ecological and biological relevance of our research, I am particularly interested in the transference between science and conservation applications by providing holistic tools for the solution of management conflict.
