Main research interest
I am a community ecologist working in functional ecology. I use dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) as an indicator tool to quantify ecosystem services and environmental impact caused by humans in different bioregions. My research include other topics like alfa and beta diversity, fragmentation, connectivity, biogeographic patterns, effect of invasive species, and animal behavior. I am also interested in immature stages of Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae dung beetles from the Paleartic and Neotropical regions.
