The integrative
Ecology Group was created in 2000 by Pedro Jordano and Jordi Bascompte
to set up a long-standing scientific collaboration. This group
constitutes a research line in both the Research Council's Strategic
Plan and the research directory of the local government of Andalucía.
The mission of the group is to understand the mechanisms by which
biodiversity is organized and how biodiversity responds to
human-induced perturbations. We pursue this by developing
interdisciplinary research in ecology. We combine field work,
mathematical models, computer simulations, genetic analysis, and
statistical analysis of large data sets. Our research involves an
international program of collaborators world-wide. Our research lines
integrate evolutionary ecology, theoretical ecology, and population
genetics.
Specific research interests are:
Evolutionary ecology of plant-animal interactions (pollination and seed dispersal) Complex topology of food webs and plant-animal mutualistic networks The spatial dimension of population and community dynamics Fragmentation and habitat loss Population genetics of endangered vertebrate species The Integrative Ecology group acted also as the seed of the current Department of Integrative Ecology. Further information about members, research interests, publications and similar can be found on the respective web pages of Pedro Jordano Home Page and Jordi Bascompte. |
