Activity summary

My research line focusses on fish acoustic communication namely on the role of acoustic signals in social interactions. Recently I have started to study the impact of anthropogenic noise on marine soundscapes and fish fitness. I am an Assistant Professor at Lisbon University and the vice-president of the Portuguese Ethology Society (Sociedade Portuguesa de Etologia)
