PhD. student at the Department of Ecology of the Autonomous University of Madrid. In my doctoral thesis I study the ecosystem services generated by temporary ponds and the role played by large branchiopods in the ecosystem functioning of these ecosystems within the European project ResPond: Restoring and Managing Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services of Temporary Pond Landscapes. In my master thesis I have contributed to the ClimaRiskinPond project through the study of temporary ponds in the Community of Madrid.
I am part of the research team of the European project EUROPONDS (3rd European EFFS-EFYR FreshProject 2020-2022), which aims to assess the contribution of ponds to the adjacent terrestrial ecosystem through the nutritional value of emerging insects that serve as food for a multitude of animals. I am also part of the research team of the AGROAQ project (eLTER PLUS) whose objective is to analyze the differences between the communities of organisms that inhabit livestock watering troughs, versus those that inhabit the surrounding lagoons. I also collaborate as a research team in the IberRios project, a national collaborative project to explore the impacts of global change on Iberian river biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
