Full time research professor, Tropical Ecology Department, CCByA-UADY 

Since I was studying my undergraduate degree in Biology (not so many years ago!), I felt in love of issues related to plant reproductive biology, and the evolutionary ecology of interespecific interactions, especially mutualisms. During my doctoral studies (Ecology), I worked with a tropical tree (Ipomoea wolcottiana), exploring/evaluating the ecological factors that limit its reproduction (i.e., nutrients, herbivory, and pollinators), and phenotypic natural selection events on some floral traits. Recently, I have taking as a study system the multiple interactions that occur between parasitoids-herbivores-plants and pollinators, and the effects of invasive plants on plant-pollinator networks. My research interest has been expanding to the study of plant local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of interespecific interactions, using ambitious field experiments in large geographic scales. I am also interested in the implications of my studies in the conservation biology and management of some species (e.g, crop pollination, endemic and invasive plants).

Currently I am a full-time researcher-professor at the Autonomus University of Yucatan. Usually I teach the following courses: Evolution, Tropical Ecology, and Evolutionary Ecology of Interespecific Interactions (for undergraduate and graduate students) and Science, Research and Sustainability (for graduate students).
