Welcome!

Our research focuses on the ecology of species interactions, including the structure and dynamics of ecological networks, the functioning and conservation of plant-animal mutualisms, the ecology of biological invasions, and more! We are based at the Argentine Institute for Dryland Research, CONICET Science and Technology Center, in beautiful Mendoza, Argentina.
