About

I am an ecologist/entomologist deeply interested in how anthropic disturbances affect biodiversity and species ecological interactions. Currently I am researching on how the land-use changes affect wild pollinator diversity in natural communities and croplands, and the structure, stability and functionality of the pollination networks.

Interests
  • Pollination ecology
  • Plant-pollinator interactions
  • Insect ecology
  • Plant biology
Education

  • PhD in Plant biology, 2019-currently

    University of Balearic Islands

  • MSc in Entomology, 2017

    University of Panama

  • MSc in Applied Ecology, 2013

    Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences
