Birds Project

People

In the 80s, Luis Marone started studying the abundance of birds and their responses to different habitat features and environmental conditions in the Reserve of Ñacuñán and its surroundings. In 1993, together with the creation of Ecodes, Javier Lopez de Casenave started with the studies of diet and feeding behaviour of birds, which would be part of his PhD thesis, in collaboration with Luis Marone and Víctor Cueto. Eduardo T Mezquida studied the reproductive ecology of birds and the importance of nesting site selection and nestling predation for his PhD thesis.

At present, Víctor R Cueto is responsible for the research line "Feeding preferences" with the participation of Luis Marone, Sergio Camín, Fernando A Milesi and Antonio Mangione, and he is starting to develop the "Movements" research line.

Fernando A Milesi is doing his PhD thesis developing the research line "Use of space" under Luis Marone's supervision and in collaboration with Javier Lopez de Casenave and Víctor R Cueto.
