Postdoctoral researchers

Guillermo García Gómez. Metabolic scaling theory and ecophysiology in aquatic organisms. Guille's work combines multiple approaches at the metabolic individual level to infer large-scale processes at population and community levels. He has performed a suite of lab and field experimental works to understand which are the main drivers influencing the metabolic scaling of organisms. Fundings: FRESCO project at the Kin Juan Carlos University.

PhD students

Ariadna García-Astillero. Trophic ecology in food web lakes. Ari's thesis goals are to unravel the main mechanisms responsible for the structure and functioning of lake food webs from small to large spatiotemporal scales. She is using plankton communities as the model organism in lakes. Her thesis will combine a quantitative approach by leveraging biodiversity data, and an empirical approach by recollecting biotic samples in two field campaigns carried out in Iberian lakes. Fundings: Internal Fellowship at the Kin Juan Carlos University.  Co-supervised with Dr. Javier Sánchez-Hernández.

Rosa Gurí. Body size structure in stream fish and macroinvertebrates. Rosa's thesis focus on the integration of body size tools for biomonitoring in stream biota, including the use of automated techniques (e.g., Zooscan), and the efficiency of sampling methods (e.g., electrofishing). Rosa's main interest lies on the stream habitat restoration, freshwater biodiversity, and environmental education. Fundings: LIFE Alnus. Co-supervised with Dr. Marc Ordeix. University of Vic-UCC.
