Perfil Profesional

  • Ecólogo de comunidades interesado en comprender los mecanismos que explican los cambios en la diversidad y la composición de plantas y animales tropicales a través del tiempo y el espacio. Sus temas centrales de trabajo son: cómo las interacciones de las especies regulan la recuperación de las comunidades bióticas después de las perturbaciones antropogénicas, y cuáles son los mecanismos que regulan la estructura de las comunidades y su re-ensamblaje a lo largo de los gradientes ambientales en paisajes naturales y modificados. Dentro de estos dos intereses participa en cuatro líneas de investigación: interacciones ecológicas entre árboles y lianas, dispersión de semillas por animales, sucesión forestal e interdependencia entre las propiedades de las comunidades
