Autobiography

I graduated in Environmental Sciences at Miguel Hérnandez University (Spain), where I also continued working in several conservation biology projects. After three year, I was then awarded with a 4-years fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Science which has supported my Phd studies at Department of Ecology and Animal Biology at Vigo University.  

Research Interests  

I am broadly interested in the interface between evolutionary ecology and physiology. Specifically, my research is focused in the function of oxidative stress as a proximal mechanism shaping life history trade-offs, behaviour and phenotypes. My study models are birds: gulls, boobies, shags, finch and recently, fowls.  

My current research interests are:  

  • Metabolic programming by maternal effects

  • Hormetic responses in the context of oxidative stress

  • The effect of early life conditions on oxidative resistance-phenotype

  • Trans-generational effects of oxidative damage on germ lines

Teaching experience (subjects):

-Methods in zoology,  zoology (Chordate), wildlife conservation and distribution, animal behaviour, adaptations of marine animals
