Welcome to the FORECAST research group

I am Maria, a research fellow at the Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD-CSIC) and research associate at the University of Zurich. I have just been awarded the Ramón y Cajal Fellowship to start a research group. So, I am in the process of "gathering" my globally distributed team and new team members to be based at EBD-CSIC. This website is therefore currently being updated. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

We are working with long-term data on animal and plant populations to project population dynamics under global change scenarios - trying to create theoretical principles and empirical applications to anticipate and mitigate emerging threats to natural communities. We are particularly interested in exploring how feedbacks between demography and species interactions can mitigate or exacerbate climate-change effects on natural communities.
