I am an ecologist interested in the factors shaping the dynamics of wild animal populations and biological communities. I use detection data on individual animals and advanced modelling tools to generate knowledge on the factors influencing biological processes (e.g., individual survival, dispersal, recruitment, growth, etc.) in space and time. My research results have contributed to the management of several species (e.g., Storm petrel, Mediterranean tortoise, European lobster, Atlantic cod) and protected areas in Spain, France the USA and Norway.
