CURRENT PROJECTS
- Improving the use of terminology in ecology, with Corey Bradshaw and Barry Brook

Teaching Interests

I have done lecturing on ordination methods applied to the study of biodiversity patterns in Colombia, Mexico and Peru, see courses below
I have delved for a few years into statistical programming in R, generalized linear modeling and multi-model inference, which I might incorporate in future courses

COURSES:
- Multivariate analyses for environmental impact assessment and protected areas (42 hours). Universidad Pedagogica y Tecnologica de Colombia (Tunja, Colombia). 5-9 February 2007.
- Multivariate analyses for fisheries and aquaculture (40 hours). Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano (Bogota, Colombia). 7-11 June 2005.

- Multivariate analyses of biodiversity data (40 hours). Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (Lima, Peru), 22-29 November 2004.
- Multivariate analyses of biodiversity data (25-42 hours). Fundacion Omacha (Bogota, Colombia). Five courses: 27 June-1 July 2005, 5-9 July 2005, 11-15 July 2005, 9-13 October 2006, and 17-21 October 2006.
- Multivariate analyses of biodiversity data (80-100 hours). El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (Chetumal, Mexico). Three courses: November 2001, and October 2003 and 2004. The Mexican Government Programme "Cátedras Universitarias Especiales" sponsored the first two courses.

Research Interests

- I am a generalist ecologist, with a strong interest in numerical ecology
- I am currently working on global patterns of population dynamics

I believe that we scientists have the moral obligation of...
i/ contributing to a fairer and cleaner world,
ii/ enforcing collaborative research between developed and developing countries,
and iii/ passing our expertise on to society and younger generations of scientists

Community Engagement

- Environmental education through story-telling and writing (2001-...), e.g. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=200964293256248&comments
- From January 2011 I write monthy articles in the section Street-side science (Ciencia a pie de calle) of the Spanish journal Quercus (www.quercus.es). An extended online version of some of those articles (in English) is available at http://conservationbytes.com (see links above). The purpose is to convey the usefulness of ecological-conservation science in a language tailored to a non-scientific audience.
