As a behavioral ecologist, I am deeply fascinated by the question of why nature works the way it does. It’s a complex question, isn’t it? Perhaps one of the oldest and most challenging puzzles humanity has ever attempted to solve. My research aims to unravel how and why the environment and the phylogenetic history of organisms shape natural and sexual selection—two fundamental evolutionary processes that help explain male and female life histories, species richness, population viability, extinction rates, and more. I approach these questions through the lens of behavior—because ethology is simply captivating.

I have had the privilege of working with several research institutions around the world. My publications span a range of fields, including ecology, evolution, animal behavior, animal communication, and physiology. I also dedicate time to increasing knowledge about the natural history of species, a pursuit that deepens our understanding of biodiversity.

​

Over the years, I have presented my work at numerous scientific congresses and events, and I greatly enjoy organizing such gatherings as well. I’ve also had the pleasure of mentoring undergraduate, MSc, and PhD students, learning a great deal from them along the way.

In science, the road is long, arduous, and beautiful. The conclusion is clear: there is no time to waste.
