Publications

Here, you'll find a collection of the research projects and studies I've been fortunate to be a part of and publish. Each work represents a journey of discovery and collaboration in the fields of ecology and environmental science. I hope these publications inspire curiosity and contribute to our understanding of the natural world. Feel free to explore, and if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of these works further, don’t hesitate to reach out. Happy reading!
