My research focuses on the subjects of Evolutionary Ecology and Conservation Biology. The central aim of my research is to generate science-based information applied to the conservation and management of endangered species, specifically steppe-land birds. First I am interested in the study of the dispersal process, its causes and consequences. For this objective I use two complementary approaches: on the one hand the study of the dispersal movements and its intra-specific variability by means of the tracking of radio-tagged individuals, and on the other hand, the analysis of the genetic structure within populations by using the sequencing of mitochondrial DNA. Complementarily I am also developing studies on the connections between farming and biodiversity conservation, a very hot topic in conservation biology.
