Areas of scientific activity

My main fields of research involve the use of birds as monitors of the environmental quality. Research topics include feeding ecology of pelagic seabirds and estuarine birds, as well as on spatial modelling of bird distribution. The work on seabirds has been carried out in Portugal mainland, in the Azores and Madeira (Selvagem Grande and Desertas islands), and in the Falkland islands, in close connection with local authorities and researchers. My research on the ecology of estuarine birds is mostly carried out in the Tagus estuary. I am also interested in network for dissemination of data of Biodiversity. I am involved in the implementation of the Portuguese node of GBIF, and participated in a project for developing and implementation of such structure in Portugal.
