Research interests

My research interests lie at the interface between ecology and biological conservation, with the study of spatial biodiversity patterns as the unifying theme. This research focuses on three main components:

1. Investigating the implications of biodiversity patterns for conservation. Given that biodiversity is not evenly distributed, and neither are threatening processes such as habitat loss or overexploitation, it is fundamental to be strategic in the spatial placement of conservation efforts such as protected areas. I work on the development of methods for the selection of priority areas for conservation, and investigate how the spatial distribution of conservation efforts and threatening activities affects biodiversity, focussing on large spatial scales.

2. Understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes that underpin biodiversity patterns. We have little understanding of the assembly rules driving species’ spatial organisation, which hampers our capacity to predict how biodiversity responds to change such as habitat transformation, climate change and species introductions. I am working on the development of spatially explicit, process-based, models that can predict biodiversity patterns across spatial and temporal scales.

3. Understanding the historical human footprint on today’s macroecological patterns, how it affects our perception of what natural ecosystems look like, and of their future conservation options. I have focused particularly on the human impacts on the distribution and abundance of marine mammals.
