Description

Dr. Antonella Panebianco is a Postdoctoral Fellow of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Research of Argentina. Panebianco completed her Ph.D. at the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 2019. Panebianco is interested in studying the modulation of physiological and behavioral aspects in wildlife in the context of environmental change. For her Ph.D., Panebianco worked with guanacos, the largest South-American camelid, studying the factors influencing aggression during the reproductive season and its relationship with reproduction. Currently, Panebianco's post-doctoral research is oriented toward assessing the potential impact of using drones as novel tools for monitoring wildlife for ecological, recreational, or productive interest. The results of these projects have been published in scientific journals and conferences and include topics of physiology, behavior, ecology, conservation, and sustainable use.  Besides her academic interests, Panebianco works in an NGO called "Conservación Patagónica" which manages a Natural Urban Reserve in Argentinean Patagonia. Reserva Natural Urbana Cotesma aims to bring nature closer to the community through recreational activities such as bird watching and photography, among others. In addition, they coordinate an environmental education program for students of all levels, in which children are encouraged to discover what it is that connects them with nature and, based on this positive link, to understand the importance of natural environments and their conservation.
