I am a scientist, trained as an evolutionary ecologist. Most of my work uses birds to study the importance of key traits on the evolution and long-term conservation of biodiversity. These range from coloration and trophic interactions to host-parasite systems. As Curator, I promote the value of avian specimens for research.
I mainly work with isolated, insular, fragmented, migratory and domesticated species, especially in Iberia, North Africa and Macaronesia.
