I am a researcher focused on ecological and evolutionary dynamics, exploring how species adapt to environmental change. My work examines how species movement, including dispersal and seasonal migration, influences population persistence and evolution. I specialize in high-mountain ecosystems, studying alpine bird ecology, behavior, and conservation. Additionally, I investigate brown bear and otter behavior in human-modified landscapes, as well as large carnivore-human conflicts. Using long-term data and advanced modeling techniques, I develop and test theories to better understand species dynamics and contribute to conservation in rapidly changing environments.
My specific interests include:
(1) the study of movement strategies, including dispersal, migration and nomadism
(2) alpine bird ecology, behaviour and conservation
(3) the understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of community-level responses to climate change
(4) the study of large carnivore-human conflicts, and the ecology of brown bear and otter populations in human-modified landscapes.

I am a scientific researcher at the Biodiversity Research Institute (IMIB; University of Oviedo-Principality of Asturias-CSIC), Spain.
