Much of my research is related to conservation biology and road ecology, and in particular to how wildlife uses the environment and landscape.

Since 2011 I have been working with the ecological effects of roads on wildlife. Specifically, I am interested in evaluating the barrier effect of roads on animal movements and how these structures influence the functional connectivity of the landscape and the persistence of populations. Another topic that interests me is the role of roadsides (and their management) as providers of ecosystem services.

More recently, the opportunity arose to work in the field of disease ecology. I am interested in understanding how the spatial ecology of wildlife can influence the risk of transmission of pathogens at the interface between domestic and wildlife. I seek to determine patterns of distribution, abundance and aggregation of wild species and how they respond to different management options.
