I am a #ecologist, passionate about natural history. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Rio de Janeiro State University 🇧🇷 .
I have been working mainly with #amphibians and #reptiles and I am researching which environmental factors could influence the #occupancy and #detectability of species. I also help with ecology projects involving #mammals.
I really love #fieldwork!
I am interested in topics such as #climatechange, #spatialecology, and #wildlifeconservation.

In 2018/19 I asked my Masters student, Andreea Dogaru, to investigate the potential #detectability of #Earth from other #star systems, assuming other #civilisations might use similar techniques to those we use to find #exoplanets. She did a great job and her dissertation showed from what regions of the sky Earth might be most detectable. (6/n)
