My scientific research began the last year of my Biology degree with a scholarship for initiation to research awarded by the CSIC in the Soil Microbiology and Symbiotic Systems laboratory in the Mycorrhizae research group at the Zaidín Experimental Station (Granada). However, thanks to an FPI scholarship, my doctoral thesis (2000-2004) was carried out under the supervision of Dr. José Antonio Hódar and Dr. Regino Zamora in the Terrestrial Ecology Group of the University of Granada (UGR), dealing with The effect of ungulate herbivores on forest regeneration in the Mediterranean context. In its development, not only the factors that determine the diet selection of some small ruminants were analyzed, but also the response capacity of woody vegetation to herbivory. In addition to my own research work, I collaborated with various projects that the group was developing. During my Postdoctoral stay at the prestigious Institute of Ecology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in the community ecology laboratory, under the guidance of Dr. Alfonso Valiente, I developed the research project entitled 'Evaluation of natural resources for the Goat feeding and its effect on vegetation in the Tehuacán Valley (Mexico)'. I was financed with a scholarship from the Ramón Areces Foundation for two years and, for a third year, with a postdoctoral contract from UNAM itself. From this project, not only has a greater knowledge of the diet of the domestic goat been obtained, but also of its possible role as seed dispersers of endemic species. Since October 2008 I am part of the Teaching and Research Staff of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). I have maintained my line of research analyzing the interaction between the vegetation and the two varieties of goats that inhabit Mallorca. This work has been developed mainly under National Plan projects led by Jordi Bartolomé, professor at the UAB, with whom I have co-directed 3 doctoral theses. However, I have also resumed the line of research that I started at the end of my degree, the study of mycorrhizae and their applicability, a line in which I am currently researching with greater intensity and with which I have participated in regional, national and European projects as director of a doctoral thesis and several master's theses. Currently I combine both research lines, analyzing the herbivores effects on soil ecology.
