Mis Intereses

Mis intereses de investigación se enmarcan principalmente en las áreas de la biología evolutiva, la ecología y la conservación. Actualmente, junto a un gran número de colaboradores, trabajo principalmente en tres líneas de investigación: la sistemática y biogeografía de aves andinas, la ecología de parásitos de aves; y la utilización de sistemas de información geográfica (y otras herramientas) para proponer la creación de nuevas áreas de conservación en Ecuador.

Proyectos

  • Evolución de la Estrella del Chimborazo, Oreotrochilus Chimborazo desde una perspectiva genómica (con Carlos A. Rodríguez-Saltos, Fernanda Duque, Juan Freile, Patricia Salerno y Juan M. Guayasamin).
  • Filogeografía de Ixothraupis guttata (con Juan Freile, Leovigildo Cabrera, Michaël Moens, Jefferson García-Loor, Laura Rosado-Llerena y Miguel Lentino).
  • Filogeografía de Eutoxeres aquila (con Laura Rosado-Llerena y David Ocampo).
  • Fidelidad de sitio y conectividad en poblaciones de ballenas de las costas de Esmeraldas (con Judith Denkinger, Patricia Chanabá y Nathalia Valencia).
  • Eficiencia de las expansiones de áreas protegidas para representar especies bajo escenarios de cambio climático (con Javier Fajardo, Janeth Lessmann, Jesús Muñoz y otros colaboradores).
