+ I am a quantitative ecologist interested in how to analyze and curate biodiversity
data. In terms of study taxa or ecological discipline, I am definitely a
generalist. + I am proficient in R programming, multivariate ordination and
compilation of biological databases. I have published 30 peer-reviewed papers,
lectured 15 postgraduate courses on multivariate statistics and described 4
species new to science. I hold a BSc in Biology/Zoology (1991), a MPhil in
marine ecology (1992-1996), a PhD in demography (2007-2012), and have completed
two postdocs in ecophysiology (2013-2015) and palaeoecology (2018-2020). Throughout,
I have experienced 12 years of career interruptions mostly due to parenting
responsabilities. + In my current postdoc with the Spanish National Research Council
(January 2021 to January 2022), I am bioprospecting amphibians and their
pathogens in Northern Spain using environmental DNA. And I write popular
science on biodiversity and global change since 2011, resulting in more than
100 printed articles and blogs. + Listen a
recent interview (in Spanish) on
biodiversity and extinctions (Radio 4 / Radio Nacional de España)
Below I show some aspects of ongoing research work.
