Research interests. My research is primarily focused on population ecology of birds, with special emphasis on conservation of endangered raptors. My research integrates both field and laboratory components, including the analysis of data recorded by means of satellite telemetry, demographic analyses and the development of GIS-based predictive models of species' distributions. In the last years, I have expanded my research to the study of the fascinating world of bird migration, with particular interest in animal orientation and navigation of free-living birds tracked by means of satellite telemetry. I am currently focusing my research on the ecology of long-distance migratory raptors. I have also taught lessons of Ecology, Zoology and Field Techniques at the University of Valencia and the University of Alicante (Spain)..
