I am a postdoctoral researcher broadly interested in plant-animal interactions and their role in shaping ecological processes across natural and human-modified ecosystems. My research particularly focuses on the interactions that operate during the reproductive cycle of plants, including pollination, seed dispersal, seed predation, and plant-plant facilitation. I am especially interested in addressing questions that simultaneously advance fundamental ecological knowledge and contribute to the conservation and management of contemporary landscapes and ecosystems. To address these questions, I integrate multiple approaches, with a strong empirical component, to understand the role of plant-animal interactions across different ecological contexts.

My research is framed in the InterActions project and focuses on understanding how altered mutualistic and antagonistic plant-animal interactions limit the regeneration of highly degraded forests

I am a passionate ecologist broadly interested on the effects of global change on relevant ecosystem functions such as seed dispersal. I consider that the understanding of trophic cascades is paramount to biodiversity conservation, especially in a defaunated world.

My research line is focused on plant-animal interactions and the study of ecological functions and processes involving carnivorous mammals.

I am an ecologist interested in the processes that promote more biodiverse agroecosystems, both taxonomically and functionally. 

My goal is to understand the interdependent effects of agricultural practices and landscape complexity on biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as on the effectiveness of the agri-environmental measures.

I am an ecologist interested in plant-animal interactions and their ecological and evolutionary consequences, as well as their implications for conservation.

My research explores the dynamics of plant-animal interactions, focusing on seed dispersal as a key process for plant persistence under global change. Drawing on my background in island biology, I currently investigate how shifting environmental conditions affect these mutualisms and their implications for conservation and ecosystem resilience.

I am an ecologist broadly interested in the effects of anthropogenic landscape changes on ecological processes, and their consequences for the maintenance of biodiversity.

My research primarily focuses on seed dispersal by animals, a process that plays a pivotal role in shaping plant populations, communities, and vegetation dynamics.
