I have worked in seabird conservation since I graduated as a veterinarian some years ago. I began working on bycatch and clinical pathology in penguins, albatrosses and storm petrels. In my PhD studies, I have studied the antimicrobial resistance transmission pathways in gulls and pelicans in the East Pacific Region. More recently, I'm focusing on the temporal trends and seasonality of AMR in these seabird species. I'm interested in deepen in the AMR characterization of their microbiome and their immuno-susceptibility to emerging pathogens.

I started working with birds for my undergraduate Honors thesis at the University of Maine, studying the utility of umbrella species conservation methods based on two species of conservation concern (Purple Sandpiper and Harlequin Duck). My passion for seabird ecology grew as a research assistant for Project Puffin in the Gulf of Maine and now I am a MS student in the Davoren Lab (Dr. Gail Davoren), determining location-specific daily energy expenditure of Razorbills throughout the annual cycle in the northwestern Atlantic using various types of data loggers, including Global Location Sensing (GLS) and/or Time Depth Recorder (TDR) tags.

My current PhD research focuses on studying aspects of the vulnerable Olrog's Gull in southeastern South America, particularly along the coast of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. My work examines how the species' distribution in relation to areas with different levels of urbanization influences its diet and physiology during the non-breeding season. I use stable isotopes, physiological parameters such as fatty acid profiles and immune responses, and band recovery data to investigate these objectives. This information will also help us understand how this species interacts with human activities and, consequently, contribute to its conservation.

My first contact with seabirds was during my Master's degree, in which I developed a molecular survey of hemoparasites in Procellariiformes. As I fell in love with them, I decided to continue approaching these animals in my PhD by investigating their gut microbiome at rehabilitation centers in Brazil. The main idea is to acquire a better understanding of how and if the rehabilitation period impacts the gut microbiome of procellariiform seabirds and, based on this, further discuss more appropriate management practices for rehabilitation and release. Moreover, I also intend to investigate potential zoonotic agents in their gut microbiome. My work has mainly been in rehabilitation centers and in the laboratory, but I'm looking forward to new experiences in the field as well.

Did research on the ecology and breeding biology of tropical seabirds: tropicbirds, frigatebirds, boobies. Tested the Lack and Ashmole hypotheses about seabird life history characteristics, proving them to be inaccurate. Studied the effects of El Nino events on tropical seabirds in the central Pacific.

I am a conservation biologist working at the Doñana Biological Station (EBD-CSIC). For over ten years, I have studied seabird ecology, behaviour and conservation, seeking to understand how these species respond to environmental change and pressures from human activities. My research has explored seabird migration and behaviour across different life stages and regions of the world, as well as major threats, from changes in the ocean to pollution. In recent years, I have investigated exposure to persistent chemical pollutants and their potential effects on reproduction. I also engage in science communication, bringing knowledge about seabirds, oceans and their conservation closer to society.

How does the time of the day affect AI:s bird identification accuracy in Swedish oak forests, and how does species richness indicate migratory birds activity patterns in oak forests? Includning migrating seabirds. And Baltic sea coastal birds, ecology of coastal cormorant colony in Klaipeda.

I currently as the coordinator of Burung Laut Indonesia, a volunteer-based community dedicated to seabird conservation across the country. Since 2009, my team and I have been conducting long-term seabird monitoring in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia where the Christmas Frigatebird has been identified as a key species. Despite the bay's severely polluted waters, it functions as an important migratory stopover and developmental habitat, with more than 1% of the global Christmas Frigatebird population spending their juvenile years in this area. In addition to monitoring, we carry out extensive public awareness and outreach activities, and we collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders to enhance public understanding and strengthen the protection of seabirds in Indonesia.

I am a seabird biologist focusing on the conservation, and the movement and breeding ecology, of procellariiformes. I am increasingly interested in the interactions of albatross with vessels, which I will explore in my future PhD. I have worked several years in various field technician roles in both the northern and southern hemispheres, but am now finally conducting my two-year MSc at the University of Auckland. This project involves GPS and GLS tagging grey-faced petrel (Pterodroma gouldi) adults on both east and west coasts of the North Island, whilst monitoring their chicks. I aim to establish the foraging areas of breeding adults, to then understand how oceanographic variables there might be contributing to the mismatched breeding phenology/chick growth of east vs west populations.

I am a postdoctoral researcher studying how environmental change and human activities affect seabirds, including light pollution, plastic pollution and climate change.. My research currently focuses on Arctic species, particularly the Little Auk, using biologging, behavioural analysis, and statistical modelling to understand migration, breeding phenology, and responses to climate change. I also work on light pollution and its impacts on seabird navigation and survival. In my role, I design and lead research projects, analyse large movement and behavioural datasets, supervise students, and collaborate internationally. Alongside research, I am active in science communication, peer review, and editorial work, aiming to translate ecological research into conservation-relevant insights.

I performed necropsies on tropical seabirds to assess the concentration of plastic debris in their gastrointestinal tracts. Specifically, I worked on Barau's petrel, an endemic seabird species of Réunion Island. This specie is a bioindicator of plastic pollution in the Indian Ocean.

Currently as a contractor Biologist for the USFWS Caribbean Islands National Wildlife Refuge Complex, co-founded the Coastal Bird Breeding Program where we monitor the reproductive success of Least Terns in the salt flats of the Cabo Rojo NWR. We also have social attraction sound system for Least Terns on an elevated platform and manage invasive species. Also, working with the monitoring of seabird nesting on Desecheo Island and with social attraction systems for several seabird species including the Sargasso Shearwater and the Black-capped Petrel. She has worked with other researchers and partners to conduct seabird populations surveys in many of the cays and islands of the Puerto Rico Archipelago for the past 8 years.
