Base studies on behaviour focused on the the use of space, mating systems, orientation and navigation as well as social structure are performed. The use of space, mating, dispersion and social organization are an immediate consequence of individual behaviour, and behaviour evolves from these ecological consequences. Studies involve two particular species: common quail (Coturnix coturnix) and the european badger (Meles meles).

We are studying the social behaviour of the lowland gorilla (Gorilla g. gorilla) as well as that of large simians. This has allowed advances in a line of sustainable development based on ecotourism. Lately, ebola cases have devastated the study area, which has allowed us to determine which social and populational aspects are involved in the propagation of the epidemy between gorilla families. Currently, this same line of sustainable development is being conducted in other areas of the República del Congo. Populations that have been affected by ebola are being monitored.

Considering cynegetic aspects, works are mainly being conducted on common quail (Coturnix coturnix). Research performed over more than 20 years has yielded biological, behavioural and ecological knowledge that allows the suggestion of management and conservation proposals for quail populations regarding cynegetic activity. Species under study living in parks and gardens are: wild hog (Sus scrofa), european badger (Meles meles), red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) and common pigeon (Columba livia). Studies on space and social behaviour and populational dynamics allow an approach to the conservation status of mammals in the Parc de Collserola (wild hog, european badger, red squirrel) and Barcelona's gardens (red squirrel) as well as getting to know which factors are threatening populations (habitat loss, isolation of populations, interspecific competition) and which conservation measures should be applied to protect them. Common pigeon populations have been studied in cities around Barcelona with the aim of quantifying populations and treating them as pest species.
