Summary
Enrico is a behavioural ecologist investigating how the environment shapes the evolution of societies. He has always been fascinated by biology from a very young age with a particular interest in animal behaviour. Enrico has worked with a wide variety of species including birds and guppies, but his own research has so far always used cetaceans as model species.
His project uses social network analysis to compare the societies of seven sympatric species of Hawaiian odontocetes to observe how they differ and to investigate whether such differences are correlated to the environment they inhabit, including their social environment and disturbance from human activity. His research is a collaboration between Cascadia Research Collectiveβs Hawaii office, directed by Dr. Robin W. Baird, and Florida International University, with Dr. Jeremy Kiszka as his major professor.
