Introduction
PhD student at the University of Aveiro in collaboration with Tour du Valat Research Institute. My project aims at assessing the processes influencing population dynamics of a migratory bird species throughout the annual cycle, and in doing so, gather a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms beyond the inter-individual variation in migration tendencies. My model species is the Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) and the study will be focusing in the dynamics of the colony in Camargue.

When wintering at different sites, individuals from the same breeding population can experience different conditions, with costs and benefits that may have implications throughout their lifetime. Using a dataset from a longitudinal study on Eurasian Spoonbills from southern France, we explored whether survival rate varied among individuals using di...
Artificial substrates have been implemented to overcome the problems associated with quantitative sampling of marine epifaunal assemblages. These substrates provide artificial habitats that mimic natural habitat features, thereby standardizing the sampling effort and enabling direct comparisons among different sites and studies. This paper explores...
Non-destructive methodologies based on the use of artificial substrates (AS) for quantitative sampling of macrofauna have been used to solve sampling problems in complex benthic environment, such as rocky reefs. The macrofauna assemblages of two different types of AS (dendritic and crevice), at two different locations were studied. The main goal wa...
Since 2006 we have been observing a significant increase in the number of breeding pairs of Ibis falcinelle in the Camargue. The Camargue is a wetland complex of 180 000 ha situated in the Rhône Delta in southern France and the stage of scientific studies by Tour du Valat since 1967. The number of breeding pairs of Ibis was increased from only 14 p...
