Urban Ecology is my main research line, although I am broadly interested in other disciplines (Behavioral Ecology, Eco-physiology and Evolutionary Biology) and particularly in understanding animal interactions (including human-nature interactions).
I did my PhD project at the University of Granada (2005-2010), where I developed a multidisciplinary program combining the above-mentioned disciplines. I continued at the same university during my 1st and 2nd postdoc where I expanded my research on Behavioral Ecology and Eco-physiology. In 2015 I was awarded with a Marie-Curie COFUND action at Doñana Biological Station. During this period, I fully developed my urban research line and expanded it with Community Ecology and Molecular Ecology. Later, I worked mainly on Microbial Ecology at the University of Groningen (2017-2019), where I investigated different ecological questions about bird-microbe interactions.
Being aware that urbanization is a global process, I have looked for general answers, either with large-scale (global/continental) studies or multispecific comparisons. My deep belief in collaboration as key to achieve significant (and general) research goals, led me to build an extensive international collaboration network (16 countries).
During my career, I have also gained wide experience in outreach activities, university teaching and supervision of (international and national) students at different levels (PhD, MSc and BSc).
