Carnivore ecology in dynamic landscapes  

In my study, I examine the effects of human activities on plankton populations in Neotropical oxbow lakes.

I study how individual differences in personality traits & physiological measures of Euroasian Scops Owls influence acclimation success & shape survival and adaptation following release to the wild.

I study the interactions between ecosystems, conservation & social-ecological systems, using data-driven approaches.

I study the impact of animal behaviors across trophic levels on plant and soil multifunctionality.

Using trail cameras, I examine disturbances, identify potential high conflict areas, and assess how proximity to human activity influences diel activity patterns of mammal species at Agmon Hula area.

I am studying giant otters in oxbow lakes in Peru. My project focuses on periscoping (vigilance) behaviour and its role in the otters' group dynamics. Our aim is to better understand how diffrent pressures shape otter behaviour and social stability.
