A tropical applied ecologist broadly interested in biodiversity conservation in human-modified landscapes. Most of her work focuses on understanding the conservation value of agricultural land uses using bird communities as proxies of biodiversity. She is particularly interested in experimental methods that allow measurement and quantification of ecosystem services and in understanding the trade-offs between biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service provisioning and food production.
