Research
My research can be grouped into two areas:
- improvement and development of quantitative methods in ecology
- empirical and theoretical research in movement and community ecology (and their intersection).
My methodological work, of course, doesn't stand on its own. It arises from needs and challenges of my ecological work or that of others, such as needs for new data analysis or modelling tools. Ultimately, this aims at improving our understanding and predictions of ecologicaly systems.
Quantitative methods in ecology
