Divergent post-breeding spatial habitat use Of Laysan and black-footed albatross
Here, I investigated spatial distributions during the ‘at-sea’ months of Laysan and black-footed albatrosses’ annual cycles and drew oceanographic connections. I used Bayesian and probabilistic methods to model movement from estimated positions, analyzed space-use across a broad habitat, conducted environmental and temporal analyses, and implemented non-parametric simulations to determine habitat associations in relation to conspecifics and cross-species breeding populations.

Impacts of marine heatwaves on top predator distributions are variable but predictable
Collaboration with Heather Welch at NOAA to predict distribution changes among widespread marine predators during marine heat wave events. I provided movement-modeled data of albatross species and assisted with literature reviews/incorporating albatross ecology into the manuscript.

Resightings of the Two-banded Plovers (Charadrius falklandicus) during the breeding season in coastal Chubut, patagonia, Argentina
Assisted with field work and English translation of a manuscript that reports resightings of individually-marked Two-banded Plovers (Charadrius falklandicus) breeding in northern Patagonia across two consecutive seasons in two beaches. The findings add information to the scarce data on the breeding biology of this species and suggest that Two-banded Plovers exhibit site fidelity.
