Carmela de Benito-Abelló

Carmela is a marine ecologist specializing in movement and behavioural ecology, with a focus on understanding how environmental conditions influence the behaviour and spatial use of marine species. Currently pursuing her PhD at Murdoch University, her research investigates the foraging ecology and habitat use of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Yawuru Nagulagun Roebuck Bay Marine Park (YNRBMP), Western Australia. She employs techniques such as stable isotope analysis and passive acoustic telemetry to explore how dietary preferences and habitat use are shaped by environmental variability.
