Biography
Research Interests: I am interested in understanding how environmental changes such as prey availability, water temperature, oceanic currents, affect fitness, survival and reproduction of marine mammals, from a bioenergetic perspective. My research focuses on how animals adjust their physiology and behaviours to changes in their environment and how different energetic strategies affect survival and reproduction. Finally, I am interested in extending the use of bioenergetic models and integrating environmental data to predict changes in life history traits and ultimately population dynamics of marine top predators for a conservation purpose.
Research Area: Pribilof Islands (Bering Sea), Kerguelen Archipelago (Sub-Antarctic)
