About me

I am an ecologist studying movement ecology and bird migration. My research focuses on understanding how individuals adapt their movement behaviour to environmental conditions and in response to human-induced environmental change. I am also interested in understanding how movement strategies develop over the lifespan of individuals. To do so, I combine field observations with the use of technological tools, such as animal-tracking devices (e.g., GPS transmitters) and accelerometers.

Currently, I am a Researcher at CIBIO (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources, University of Porto), investigating the mechanisms underlying rapid changes in migratory behaviour in white storks, and how the use of anthropogenic food resources influences the health and movement of birds.
