Currently Tenured Researcher, head of the Department of Animal and Microbial Biodiversity at IMEDEA (CSIC - UIB) and head of the Animal Ecology and Demography Unit. I obtained the Doctorate in Ecology and Evolution in 2000 from the University of Montpellier II (France). From 2001 to 2003 I worked as postdoctoral at the University of Cambridge, the University of Kent, the Imperial College of London (UK) and at the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (University of Oslo). In 2005 I obtained a 'I3S' grant from the Spanish Government and subsequently a 'Ramon y Cajal' fellowship at the IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB, Spain) where I recruited in 2008 as tenured researcher. The central theme of my research has always been animal demography applied to conservation and to the study of the of individual life-history strategies. At the beginning of my career I used individual-based data to estimate the trade-off between survival and reproduction in natural populations, a central theme in the evolution of life-history traits and individual life-history tactics. I have contributed in this field with three publications on high impact scientific journals (2 in Ecology and 1 in the Journal of Animal Ecology). After 2008, I steer my research to wildlife demography, applied to conservation, contributing with several articles in conservation as well as ecological journals (e.g. Biological Conservation, Journal of Applied Ecology or Ecological Applications). My research has been characterized by a numerical approximation within a classical as well as Bayesian statistical framework, contributing with methodological work published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society B, Methods in Ecology and Evolution and Ecology. I worked with many species, from mammals to insect and I currently responsible for the long-term monitoring of three species of vertebrates in the Balearic Archipelago (1 lizard and 2 seabirds). I collaborated with research groups in Europe, Africa, Australia and America. I have participated in 16 scientific projects promoted by public entities in four European countries (United Kingdom, Spain, France and Italy). Since 2010, I have been PI of four R&D projects funded by public institutions. I have been a reviewer for more than 15 scientific journals and scientific advisor for national and international institutions (Spanish Ministry of Economy and Innovation, Junta de Andalucía, the UK National Environmental Research Council, the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek and the Austrian Science Found. I am currently Associate Editor of the journal Animal Conservation. Since 2007 I have directed 6 Doctoral theses, 5 Master theses, 1 Erasmus+, 4 internships (1 'Archimedes award'). All my past Ph.D. students have jobs related to ecological research in public institutions. Since 2011, I teach an international course on capture-mark-recapture analysis applied to the conservation of animal populations. Since 2017 I am the head of the Animal Demography and Ecology Unit at the IMEDEA and responsible for the scientific blog animaldemography.blogspot.com that relates the activity of the group. In 2020 I have been appointed as Head of the Department of Animal and Microbial Biodiversity of the IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB).
