PROGRAMME / Biologie de la conservation

Eva Serrano Davies is an ecologist with a strong interests in ornithology, animal behaviour, cognition, and conservation. She obtained her PhD degree in 2016 at the Autonomous University of Madrid, and since then has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Museum of Natural Sciences (Madrid, Spain), the Rey Juan Carlos University (Madrid, Spain) and the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (Wageningen, The Netherlands).

Her research spans across aspects of individual and population ecology, including life-history, habitat selection, consistency and shifts in individual behavioural traits, and environmental characterization, to understand how animals respond to environmental change. Having collaborated with various strong research groups across Europe, including Spain, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands, she has acquired a distinctive and comprehensive understanding of these fields, gained through
research involving diverse research approaches and study systems. Much of this research has been carried out in wild passerine birds, which has allowed her to gain extensive experience in coordinating field work and data collection/management.

She is currently working on the Biodiversa+ TABMON project, which aims to apply autonomous acoustic sensing to a transnational biodiversity monitoring network across a large latitudinal range in Europe. The collection, analysis and integration of acoustic biodiversity observations will be harmonised, and this will provide a critical tool to fill existing gaps in reporting to EU directives and measuring progress towards policy targets in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.
