Among ecology, ethology and evolutionary biology as general fields of interest, my research is specifically focused in predator-prey interactions by means of studying antipredatory tactics in lacertid lizards.

I started working with some species of the genus Podarcis, in which I am studying diverse antipredatory strategies and its variability both within and across species. At the same time, I am working in some aspects of brain lateralization in the same species.

With my MSc thesis is intended to extend this work into an insular framework, where the study of antipredatory tactics in scenarios of predatory release become of great interest in terms of conservation.
