Stefano Ambroso is going to study marine biology at the University of Trieste (Italy) and is going to license in December 2010 with the presentation of the research project “Spatial distribution patterns of the soft corals Alcyonium acaule and Alcyonium palmatum in coastal bottoms (Cap de Creus, north-west). Mediterrani Sea). CSIC. Its research activity is related to ecology and the spatial distribution patterns of benthic communities. It has participated in numerous marine research projects (MAPUCHE, BENTOLARV, LIFE-INDEMARES, ECOSAFIMED, RESCAP and MITICAP) related to conservation. and management of the Mediterranean coastal zones. The doctoral thesis will be carried out under the direction of Josep Maria Gili and Nuria Teixidó Ullod. The doctoral project aimed to understand the structure and dynamics of the Antarctic macrobenthonic communities dominated by long-lived species of the Weddell Sea Currently you have a postdoctoral position at the University of Barcelona, the project aims to understand the population dynamics of deep benthic communities using remotely operated vehicles (ROV).
My research aims to better understand the resilience of species to global change in order to develop effective management and conservation tools. To do this, I combine the use of small-scale experiments, field data, large-scale data, along with a wide variety of modeling techniques, to better understand, predict and manage their dynamics and promote their resilience.

My research centers on understanding the response of aquatic food webs to global climate crisis and other environmental perturbations (e.g., eutrophication, salinization, microplastics), using approaches ranging from mesocosm experiments to biodiversity monitoring to investigate trophic interactions, energy transfer, ecosystem functioning and health.
Her research interests focus on the interaction between the physiological response of plants in relation to their environment, demographic responses and the distribution of species.Currently postdoctoral researcher Margarita Salas in the SalGo Team, combines experimental approaches together with ecological modeling to examine the processes of biological invasion through the prediction of the distribution of invasive species under different environmental scenarios (climate change).-Bosch

PhD in biology specializing in ethnobotany.My research focuses on the inventory and conservation of traditional knowledge related to biodiversity with the aim of preserving this heritage and forming the basis for future research to obtain new medicines, food and other products related to human well-being.Currently, as part of the Margarita Salas grant, I am doing a postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University (Atlanta, USA), in order to train in phytochemistry and microbiology and thus associate the medicinal uses of the plants mentioned in theethnobotany in the Catalan language with its active compounds and test its activity.

Our main research interests are understanding the mechanisms underlying molecular adaptation. We combine theoretical, analytical and experimental approaches, some of them developed in our group, to determine the relative role of the principal evolutionary forces in driving species diversification and in promoting genetic innovations. For that, we analyze both DNA sequence data generated in our lab (NGS data) and genomic data retrieved from databases, always within the framework of comparative and population genomics / transcriptomics. An important part of our work is focused on the origin and evolution of multigene families involved in the chemosensory system of invertebrates. We also actively develop and / or maintain software for the analysis of genetic and genomic variation in different contexts.

My PhD research work was the first epidemiological study in Tunisia to provide information on the West Nile virus transmission cycle during the 2012 meningoencephalitis epidemic in the Tunisian Sahel region.The study also reports the circulation of a strain of West Nile "Kunjin-like" virus never previously detected in Tunisia.My current research focuses on bats and rodents as natural reservoirs of various emerging infectious viral diseases such as coronaviruses.
