Researcher (M)
PROGRAM / Conservation biology
LINE / Conservation of agricultural ecosystems and game species
PhD in Biology from the University of Barcelona.
His research focuses on how animals respond to global change across different spatial and temporal scales, with a particular emphasis on bird behavior, life-history responses, and the development and application of new tools for wildlife monitoring and conservation.
