Current research lines

General Research Topics:

• Plant-animal interactions (mostly herbivory, seed dispersal).
• Plant-plant interactions (facilitation vs competition as drivers of community dynamics).
• Global Change Ecology (population and community responses).
• Ecology of forest regeneration in Mediterranean environments.
• Restoration Ecology (biodiversity restoration).
• Ecology and biodiversity of Mediterranean Ecosystems (particularly High Mountain Ecosystems).
• Forest Ecology.
• Bizarre ecological interactions (carnivorous plants ( Pinguicula..), parasitic plants ( Viscum…). etc.)

Specific Key words (more related to my current research):

• Interaction between interactions (plant-plant vs plant-animal interactions).
• Mobile links.
• Ecological monitoring.
• Emerging ecosystems.
• Ecological interactions as drivers of passive restoration processes and ecosystem services.
• Scale-dependence of plant-animal interactions.
• Global change and forest pests.
• Global change: forest migration and regeneration.
• Ecology of parasitic plants (Viscum album): the balance of plant-plant/plant- animal interactions.
