He teaches Marine Mammalogy (at Rosario), Biostatistics, Principles of Biology, and Mammalogy.

Current Research or Professional Activities

I am primarily interested in how species are adapted to their environments and the effects of both natural and human-induced habitat changes on their behavior. My research focus is the behavioral ecology and plasticity of various tropical mammals. The aim of my research is to incorporate behavioral data into sound conservation strategies that are species- and location-specific. My work has mainly been with sirenians and primates in Mesoamerica.
