My research interests are diverse but converge on how individuals respond to environmental fluctuations, including climate change. This response not only influences their behavior and physiology but also shapes communities and determines species distribution. From an evolutionary and functional ecology perspective, I analyze the ecological niche at different levels, employing advanced techniques such as stable isotopes and niche modeling. Additionally, I investigate how variations in precipitation and temperature affect species phenology. These changes can cause mismatches in the synchronization of life cycles among interdependent species, posing a threat to diversity. My work primarily focuses on arid and semi-arid areas, where I participate in nationally and internationally funded projects.
