My main research interests are focused on the ecology and conservation biology of terrestrial vertebrates, particularly mammalian carnivore species. My recent research has been especially directed to the ecology and distribution of Iberian Mesocarnivores. I am currently developing my master thesis, which will focus on the comparison of distribution and ecological niche models, for a diversity of carnivores, particularly endangered and poorly known species. Simultaneously I will address three different field methods and compare them as to their efficiency and reliability, with an important focus in the use of non-invasive genetic sampling methods.
