Fernando Azevedo Faria

PhD student - FURG

I am a PhD student in biological oceanography and my work is focused on shorebird ecology. In my thesis, I am interested in understanding the mechanisms of habitat use and resource partitioning by shorebirds, using conventional methodologies, stable isotope and molecular analysis. I also intend to estimate poulations sizes and  trends of shorebirds that use southern Brazil as a wintering area.
