Research

My interest lies in the ecology of birds and other vertebrates, on topics such as migration, population biology, and urban ecology. Some of the approaches I use are citizen science, telemetryor GPS tracking, and remote sensing.

Currently, I am studying how habitat fragmentation are affecting bird communities and movement in the forest landscapes of Luzon, Philippines. I will also study how this will impact bird-mediated seed dispersal.
