Members

Fernando Ojeda Universidad de Cádiz

Fernando Ojeda

Principal Investigator; Professor of Botany.

My main research interests are (i) the role of fire in the evolution of mediterranean plants; (ii) the ecology, biogeography and evolution of heathland plants; and (iii) the biodiversity and conservation of the herriza or Mediterranean heathland of the Strait of Gibraltar. Visit my website.


Susana Gómez

Susana Gómez González

Associate professor in Botany; Adjoint researcher of the CR2, Chile

Research interests: Plant ecology, evolution and management in fire-prone ecosystems, seed ecology and plant invasions.


Ramon Casimiro

Ramón Casimiro-Soriguer

Assistant profesor in Botany

My main research interests are centered on (i) plant reproductive biology and plant -animal interactions, (ii) phylogeny and phylogeography of Mediterranean plant taxa and (iii) plant biodiversity and conservation.


Oscar Godoy

Oscar Godoy

«Ramón y Cajal» fellow researcher

I am a community ecologist interested in the maintenance of species diversity. Two questions are the basis of my research. 1) Which are the determinants of species coexistence and exclusion? and 2) Which are the consequences of resulting coexisting species for ecosystem functioning? Approaches to tackle these questions include combining theory with observational studies, manipulative experiments and a strong component of statistical modeling. Visit my website.


Raul Ochoa Universidad de Cádiz

Raul Ochoa

«Ramón y Cajal» fellow researcher​

I am interested in understanding the effects of global environmental change on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the link between them. I am also interested in how these undesired impacts affect key ecosystem services such as soil fertility and above-ground and below-ground carbon storage. Visit my website.


Juan Pedro González-Varo

«Ramón y Cajal» fellow researcher​

I am an ecologist broadly interested in the effects of anthropogenic landscape changes on ecological processes, and their consequences for the maintenance of biodiversity.

My research particularly focuses on plant-animal interactions, which have a pivotal role on demographic and genetic processes within populations and communities.

Bea Rumue

Bea Rumeu

«Juan de la Cierva Incorporación» researcher

I am an ecologist interested in plant-animal interactions and their ecological and evolutionary consequences, as well as their implications for conservation.

My research career has been mostly focused on island ecosystems and, as an island biologist, I am also highly interested in the biogeography, colonization, and evolution of island biota.


David García Callejas

Postdoctoral researcher

I am a community ecologist broadly interested in understanding the structure and dynamics of ecological assemblages, their spatiotemporal patterns, and their response to global change drivers. In particular, I study the role of biotic interactions in shaping local and regional patterns of diversity and coexistence. In approaching these themes, I aim to bridge theoretical approaches to fundamental questions with field experiments and observations.


Sergio Picó

Sergio Picó

PhD Candidate

I am broadly interested in how biodiversity is maintained across different systems including terrestrial and marine ecosystems. For that, I analyse temporal time series with bayesian and structural stability approaches. My goal is to understand what features of species demography and their network of interactions promote the stability of ecological systems.


María Hurtado

María Hurtado

PhD Candidate

I am broadly interested in how diversity is maintained in ecosystems. For that, I study the interactions between different species and their environment in a natural grassland in Doñana National Park (Seville, Spain). My goal is to understand the mechanisms by which species can coexist maintaining biodiversity over time


Postgraduate students

Álvaro Pérez Gómez

Álvaro Pérez Gómez

MSc in Conservation, Management and Restoration of Biodiversity (University of Granada, Spain). My research interests include different aspects of arthropod diversity, taxonomy and ecology. I am keen to understand the interactions of arthropods with their environment to help determine the conservation status of this fascinating – but frequently overlooked – group of animals


Cristina Caetano

Cristina Caetano Sánchez

Andalusia Young Researchers Programme

BSc in Environmental Sciences and MSc in Conservation Biology (University of Huelva).


Irene Repeto 2

Irene Repeto Deudero

Technician for reseach support

I’m collaborating with FEBIMED providing technical support, both in the lab and in the field, for the different research projects taking place at the time. 


FEBIMED Collaborators

Jose gabriel segarra

José Gabriel Segarra-Moragues.

Plant Biology Lecturer at the University of Valencia (Spain). My interests include (i) the study of ecological factors affecting genetic diversity and population structure in plants; (i) plant phylogeography and phylogenetics; (iii) molecular and morphological taxonomic studies of a variety of plant groups including vascular plants and bryophytes.

Maria paniw

María Paniw

Formerly at the University of Cadiz, where I did my PhD, I am a postdoc at the Population Ecology Research Group of the University of Zurich. My research is focused on how interactions of genetics, environmental drivers, and density dependence affect population dynamics of animals and plants. I am particularly interested in how we can use traits of individual to predict population-level changes due to changes in environmental conditions.

jose-m-Herrera

José Manuel Herrera

Postdoctoral Researcher at
Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development (MED) (Évora-Portugal). My research aims at understanding changes in species distribution patterns and in networks of species interactions in response to global change drivers (habitat loss, fragmentation and climate warming). Visit my website.

Manuel Gil

Manuel J. Gil-López

(Postdoctoral researcher). My main research interests are the ecology, population genetics and biogeography of plant taxa

Ana-cervigon

Ana I. García-Cervigón

I am a plant ecologist interested in understanding the response of natural systems to global warming and human impacts. My approach to this topic includes the use of dendrochronology, quantitative wood anatomy and ecological modeling. -Link-
