My approach to academia.
Never getting tired of talking about our work with #sandgrouse! This time at #TIBE2025!
There’s no support for populations being evacuated… not a single word of calm and hope. People on rural areas and the environment are on the bottom of this government priorities. As usual. Even governmental vacations and political parties come first.
Portugal is facing one of the worst years in terms of wildfires. Most of them caused by humans and some by thunderstorms. Everything is chaotic and the government refused to call for international help until it was too late. Instead they gladly announced formula 1 will be back in 2027… shame…
Our research on little bustards in Kyrgyzstan just made national news! 📰 Discover how studying the thriving Central Asian populations can inform efforts to save this declining species in the Iberian Peninsula, where numbers have dropped alarmingly in recent decades.

Another year with massive wildfires in Portugal. It’s getting harder to understand the constant lack of support from the government for fire prevention, especially in terms of habitat management. Yesterday was the day we should praise conservation and Portugal only national park is burning down…
Another year capturing and ringing purple herons on the nests. By doing so, we not only aim to understand their movements but also how the breeding population in northern Portugal is doing.
Hi @giaeavesteparias.bsky.social ! Here is a thesis by a group member to make publicity about. Freshly defender this week at @uam.es !
🌾 The International Conference on Palearctic Steppe Birds 2025 has come to an end after four days of intense learning, collaboration, and inspiration. See you all next time to put together our latest research advances for the next edition of the ICPSB that will be held in.... MONGOLIA in 2027! 🎉✨

Join us for the international conference on Palearctic steppe birds in Spain! Abstract submission closes on 1st November. We will also deliver a keynote on post-Soviet land-use change and steppe birds in Kazakhstan.
By relying on different types of data and accounting for device specific GPS errors we were able to detect nests after only 2 days of incubation! A landmark in my PhD and a huge step to better understand the reproductive ecology of the Pteroclidae!
