About

Professor of Ecology at the University of Granada (Spain). My research interests are diverse, but they include plant-animal interactions and trophic relationships (food selection, herbivory, and predation), as well as how global change affects these ecological relationships. A significant portion of my research focuses on the long-term population dynamics of forest-defoliating lepidopterans—specifically, the pine processionary moth. Furthermore, I am committed to the conservation and regeneration of Mediterranean ecosystems.
