Interests: Exotic plants Invasion ecology Insect-plant interactions
I am a biologist who focused on different areas during my formation, always fascinated by insects and their interactions with plants. This led me through biological control, ant-plant interactions, and pollination ecology to my current passion: the puzzling mechanisms of plant invasibility and invasiveness. At the Evolutionary Macroecology Lab I am studying the phylogenetic structure of exotic and native plant assemblages in Mexican montane cloud forests.
