I am interested in ecology and biogeography from different perspectives, and particularly in tropical and subtropical biomes. In the past I have worked with rodents and bats and now I am focusing on insects. In the ANDIV project I am studying the diversity of bees along a tropical elevational gradient and the environmental factor that determine it. Additionally, using metabarcoding I am studying the interactions of these bees with the plants they feed on.
