Profile

I am an Associate Professor interested in population diversification on oceanic island context.

Working closely with H. Teixeira, M. Le Corre and A. Jaeger, my current work within our Marine Science Programme project includes the investigation of genetic connectivity among colonies of five seabird species across the Western Indian Ocean. Coupling genetics with population dynamics and spatial ecology will help to understand the demographic history and ecology of tropical seabirds and to inform conservation decisions.

Oceanic islands provide model systems for the investigation of the biogeography processes of migration, diversification and extinction.
