Postdocs

Elena Velado leads SHOWCASE project
Virginia Dominguez works on plant-pollinator networks stability
Estefania Tobajas works in pollinator biology with a Margarita Salas fellowship

PhD

Maria Hurtado is working on multitrophic community ecology. Co-supervised with Oscar Godoy.
Blanca Arroyo-Correa, co-advised with Pedro Jordano, is working on how complex networks of plant-animal interactions are configured across multiple levels of organization, from populations to communities.
Nerea Montes does her PhD within the SAFEGUARD project

Technicians:

Curro Molina is our man on the field and he takes care of the lab.


Past members:

  • Jose Lanuza did his PhD in Plant-pollinator networks
  • Carlos Zaragoza did his PhD in Global Change pressures on bee populations
  • Miguel Ángel Collado did his PhD on bee cognitive ecology.
  • Alfonso Allen-Perkins worked in hardcore network analysis
  • David García-Callejas worked combing theory and empirical data to better understand coexistence
  • Jamie Stavert did his PhD Thesis on Biodiversity Ecosystem Services relationships.
  • Cristina Botias worked on pathogens infections on wild bees.
  • Ainhoa Magrach worked with us on plant-pollinator networks, and how those change with landscape changes.

Main collaborators

  • Oscar Godoy: We try to merge theory and empirical data on how species coexist.
  • Ainhoa Magrach: We share several interests in the domain of community ecology.
  • Lucas Garibaldi: We collaborate on a global databases of insect crop pollination.
  • Rachael Winfree: I spend two years as postdoc with Rachael exploring how different global change drivers affect pollinator communities and we keep collaborating on these topics.
  • Daniel Sol: Our project SURVIVE_HIREC tries to understand the role of behavior flexibility and life-history traits in species responses to global change.
  • Romina Rader: We are both interested in reconciling pollinator conservation and ecosystem services delivery.
  • Riccardo Bommarco: After my postdoc with Riccardo, we keep exploring trade-offs between different ecosystem services.
  • Montse Vilà: My Ph.D. Thesis with Montse dealt with plant-pollinator networks invaded by invasive plants.
