My interest is easily sparked by anything regarding evolution of species’ adaptations and individuals’ behaviours, especially when ecology and evolution interplay in shaping species’ characteristics. I use theoretical models to understand evolution of species’ life histories and behaviours, and their ecological and evolutionary consequences. I aim at translating this fundamental understanding into applications for predicting biodiversity responses to environmental changes and support management interventions.
