Ansvarsområder
Claudia is an ecologist interested in the intersection of behavioural ecology, evolutionary ecology and conservation biology. Currently, her PhD research is utilising deep learning methods in bioacoustics to investigate the impact of human activities on various aspects of marine biology from individual behaviours to populations to community ecology. Previously, during her H.B.Sc. and M.Sc., Claudia worked on understanding the communicative function of freshwater turtle vocalisations through a combination of field and lab experiments conducted in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.
