Position in the INVASIVESNET Associate Member
Associate Editor of BioInvasions Records

Expertise I am a biodiversity researcher studying how invasive species reshape ecosystems, economies, and conservation priorities from local to global scales. My work integrates field ecology, large-scale biodiversity datasets, and quantitative modelling to identify patterns of ecological disruption and support evidence-based management. I have led and contributed to biological invasions and taxonomic research projects across the Ecuadorian Coast and Amazon as well as in the Galapagos Islands, combining intensive fieldwork with data-driven analyses. I would summarise my expertise in biological invasions macro ecology, particularly plants and amphibians.
