Background

About Emilio Civantos

I perform multidisciplinary research aiming at providing the scientific knowledge needed for understanding fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes that control the origins and maintenance of biological diversity. To achieve this understanding, I believe is essential integrative approaches and collaboration across different researchers and institutions. From a more applied perspective, I am also interested in quantify and predict biodiversity responses to global change to then apply that knowledge to the management of populations, communities and ecosystems. Thus, my research interests cover a broad range of topics in the areas of evolutionary biology, ecology and conservation biology. I use a wide variety of tools (field observations and experiments, laboratory work, remote sensing and modelling) and several model organisms (but mainly insects, reptiles, amphibians and birds).
