Biography
He studied Biology at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) and completed my MSc in 2003. He did two master projects: the first lab-based project dealt with sex-ratio adjustment and the influence of maternal effects on behaviour in Zebra finches. His second Masters project was conducted at the islands of the Azores in cooperation with the institute of ISPA (Portugal) and the University of the Azores (Portugal), where He studied the effects of 11-Ketotestosterone on paternal behaviour in blenny fish.
Research Interest
My main interests lie in Behavioural Ecology. Specifically, I am interesting in the impacts of anthropogenic noise on behaviour and physiology, the evolution of cooperative breeding
