My research focuses on understanding how individual variability, movement, physiology, pathogens and environmental change shape the population dynamics of long-lived vertebrates, with a particular emphasis on polar and marine ecosystems. I use sentinel species, especially seabirds and apex predators, as indicators of ecosystem health and as tools to anticipate ecological change.
By combining population ecology, movement ecology, disease ecology and animal physiology, my work aims to generate robust scientific knowledge to inform conservation, improve ecosystem monitoring and support evidence-based management. My current research is increasingly focused on Antarctic ecosystems, where long-lived vertebrates offer a unique opportunity to study the links between movement, health, disease transmission and global change in one of the planet’s most sensitive and rapidly changing regions.
