About
Born a biologist. I am interested in disentangle the mechanisms that structure birds communities especially along environmental gradient. I have been lucky to have John Blake and Scott Robinson as my mentors in the Univeristy of Florida and Dr. Luis Albuja in the Escuela Politécnica Nacional where I started my career as ornithologist and ecologist.
