He works on the long-term monitoring of marine biodiversity in the protected areas of Catalonia, carrying out field sampling, data analysis and writing technical reports.

My job is focused on the ecology and marine conservation of coastal benthic communities. I am currently working on the effects of marine heat waves on Mediterranean benthic species, specifically red coral, combining long-term environmental and ecological data sets. Since 2018, I have also been part of the marine monitoring team of the Montgrí, the Medes Islands and the Baix Ter Natural Park and the Cap de Creus Natural Park.

He graduated in Biology at the University of Girona, combined with a study abroad program at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (University of Oregon), and holds a master in Marine Biology from the Universidade de Algarve. Currently, he is working at the Department of Evolutionary Biology, Ecology and Environmental Sciences of the University of Barcelon beig part of the team working in the long-term monitoring program of the marine biodiversity in the Catalan Natural Parks (Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park and Cap de Creus Natural Park).

Biologist, with a master's degree in Biodiversity Conservation and Use. My research focuses on the ecology of mountain ecosystems, specifically on the functioning of peatland ecosystems and the carbon cycle. My scientific motivation is to understand the relationship between land use and ecosystem functioning, exploring ecological boundaries between use and conservation.

Evolutionary biologist currently studying the diversification patterns of a widespread genus of frogs

His lines of research focus on taxonomy, ecology, phylogeny and phylogeography of invertebrates, especially edaphic fauna, that is, soil. His university teaching activity is distributed among various subjects of animal biology, and teaches subjects of degree, postgraduate and master's degree. He has also taught various courses aimed at the dissemination of the biology of terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates.

Fields of floristry and the study of vegetation. Preparation of critical catalogs and studies related to the conservation of vascular flora, both in the Pyrenean area and Central Catalonia. Phytosociological inventories, I analyze them through numerical classification methods. Currently, I actively participate in the field of vegetation mapping, both in field work and in editing through GIS.

She is working currently as a technician at the Department of Ecology of the University of Barcelona. She coordinates the project “Evitem la pesca fantasma” (Avoiding ghost fishing)

AMPLIAMAR Project: expansion of the network of marine protected areas through GPS tracking of seabirds

I am an evolutionary biologist studying the evolution of phenotypic traits, with a particular focus on functional and morphological sexual dimorphism. My research aims to understand the causes of sex-specific differentiation and how it occurs across scales, from the micro- to the macro-level, often using lizards as a model system.

Systematics and taxonomy of heterobranchial mollusks: use of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) to elucidate the evolution of heterobranchials.
