Congratulations Euge and María for successfully defending their PhD theses!
Time for a double celebration in our group: recently, Eugenia Vázquez Novoa defended her PhD thesis on the effects of goat grazing on forest biodiversity and resilience, and even more recently, María Pascual Tudanca defended her PhD thesis on the…
Congratulations Miranda Lede for defending her thesis on the influence of climate and phenology on solitary bees
Yesterday, Miranda Lede defended her undergraduate (licenciatura) thesis at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo. Miranda was interested in how climate and mismatches in the timing (phenology) of flowering and bee nesting influenced…
Rosario Miranda defended her undergraduate thesis on the role of aggressive behavior on the structure of plant-pollinator networks
This morning Rosario Miranda defended her undergraduate (licenciatura) thesis at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo. For this project she used mathematical models and computer simulations to explore how the presence of species…
New doctor in the group: Alisa (Lisi) Álvarez successfully defended her thesis
Alisa (Lisi) Álvarez defended today her doctoral thesis, an ecological study of plant invasions in mountain ecosystems of Mendoza. Congratulations Lisi for an outstanding study with important practical implications! Lisi’s thesis combines observational and experimental studies to assess the effect…
Yamila Leguizamón defended her thesis on the impacts of honeybees on native bee diversity
Yamila defended today her undergraduate (licenciatura) thesis at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo. She studied the impacts of managed honeybees on the abundance, diversity and composition of native bees in Villavicencio Nature…
Congratulations Micaela Santos for defending her Ph.D. thesis!
Micaela Santos successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis through videoconference. She studied the consequences of habitat loss and fragmentation on plant-insect herbivore-parasitoid food webs in a dryland landscape. Her research allows understanding how habitat connectivity and area influence interaction diversity and…
María Pascual Tudanca defended her thesis on the impacts of honeybees on native plants
This morning María defended her undergraduate (licenciatura) thesis at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo. María studied the impacts of managed honeybees on pollination and plant reproduction of two native shrubs, Larrea divaricata…
Landscape connectivity explains interaction network patterns at multiple scales
Recently I published a paper assessing the extent to which fragment connectivity and area explain patterns in interaction structure among four herbivore insect guilds and their host plants. We studied natural communities in habitat fragments surrounded by vineyards in Valle…
Successful fellowship applications for three current and future lab members
We have recently heard excellent news regarding applications for research fellowships. María Pascual Tudanca was awarded a CIN fellowship from the National Interuniversity Council of Argentina to conduct research with our group to finish her undergraduate studies at the National…
