"It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us." — Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species

Field ecologist with a broad fascination about all the aspects of biodiversity. I am passionate about fieldwork and wildlife, with experience sampling a multitude of taxa in places and habitats as diverse as the Iberian Peninsula, the tropical and subtropical forests of the Neotropic, or the deserts and savannahs of northwest Africa.

I am currently working as a Research Technician at GorBEEa project under the supervision of Dr. Ainhoa Magrach. Collecting and analyzing data on plant and pollinator communities and their interactions in Gorbeia Natural Park (Basque Country), to investigate the role of biodiversity in maintaining ecosystem functioning and stability.
