My main academic interest is the understanding of the ecological role of humans in nature. In the last decades, my work has centered in the interactive role of changes in disturbance and spatial structure on plant community and population dynamics. To reach this goal, I collect and analyze long-term data, combined with short-term studies, field experiments and modeling.

I just started the Ph.D. in Conservation Biology, and I am interested in research that takes places at the intersection of community and landscape ecology. My previous work has focused in describing patterns in community composition of several taxa, with emphasis on birds, in remnant forests and other land-uses in rural landscapes of the Colombian Andes. Now I am in the search for tools that allow me to go from researching patterns to researching processes, and to incorporate the interdisciplinary dimensions of conservation biology into my work.
