I joined the Global Mammal Assessment lab in 2011 as a Master student, and my project aimed at identifying the relationships between managed fires and the persistence of ungulates in savannah landscapes. Since 2012 I have been working as a PhD student, and seek to explain the distribution of species at a global scale. The focus of my research is the study of the impacts of climate change on species, in particular terrestrial mammals, by using life-history traits to identify priority species, both in the present and in the future.
I am also actively involved with the Small Carnivore and the Australasian Marsupial & Monotreme Specialist Groups for the ongoing reassessment of mammals.
