Senescent
 Florencia Miguel, Assistant Researcher, CONICET.Interested in community ecology, plant-plant and plant-animal interactions, ecological networks, and effects of anthropogenic activities on ecological interactions. Born and raised in Guatraché, La Pampa. Don’t be surpirsed if you’ve never heard of it. E-mail | Twitter | Google Scholar | ORCID |
 Mélanie Roy, visiting researcher affiliated with IFAECI and CNRS.Her métier are plant-fungi interactions, fungal and soil biodiversity, and environmental DNA. French, raised partly in Québec, Canada. No wonder why she likes wine, cheese, and cold weather. E-mail | Google Scholar | ORCID |
 Diego Vázquez, group leader; Principal Researcher, CONICET; Associate Professor, National University of Cuyo.A true generalist, interested in everything in this web site and beyond, especially community ecology, plant-animal interactions, mutualism, ecological networks, and invasions biology. Born and raised in San Fernando, national capital of sailing and of precipitous urbanization. E-mail | Twitter | Google Scholar | ORCID |
Mature
 Alisa (Lisi) Álvarez, post-doctoral researcher at IANIGLA.She loves plant community ecology, non-native plant invasions, biodiversity, conservation ecology, and botany. One of the few true mendocinas in the group. E-mail | ResearchGate |
 Andrea Fruitos, post-doctoral researcher funded by the International Organization for Vine and Wine.Talk to her if you want to learn about agroecology, ecological intensification in vineyards, biological control, plant-pollinator interactions, and landscape ecology. Another true mendocina. |
 Micaela Santos, post-doctoral researcher funded by CONICET.Mica studies ecological communities, landscape ecology, plant-animal and animal-animal interactions, interaction networks, and habitat networks. Born and raised in La Plata, a city planned from scratch to become the capital of Buenos Aires Province. E-mail | Twitter |
 Florencia Yannelli, post-doctoral researcher funded by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany.Flor studies the ecology of biological invasions, ecological restoration, plant-soil interactions, legacy effects, and conceptual ecology. Also born and raised in Mendoza, she has trotted the globe, studying and working for over a decade in Germany and South Africa. E-mail | Twitter | Google Scholar | ORCID |
Juvenile
 Virginia Chirilá, doctoral student at UN Salta, funded by CONICET.Vicky’s interests span community ecology, conservation ecology, landscape ecology, plant-animal interactions, environmental gradients, ecosystem management, and botany. Born, raised, and doing thesis field work in Cachi, Salta. Confusingly, she likes watching the night sky and being indoors. E-mail | Twitter |
 David de la Cruz, doctoral student funded by CONICET.David likes dirt and the little things that happen to live there (soil biodiversity), which he studies using tools of environmental DNA, ecological networks, and landscape ecology. He’s also into astrobiology and science communication. Venezuelan, partly raised in Colombia, and the new kid in the block. E-mail | Twitter | Instagram |
 Mary dos Reis Diniz, doctoral student at UN Cuyo, funded by FONCYT.Mary works with plant-bee-parasitoid interactions, population and community ecology, ecological networks, solitary bees, and species distribution. Brazilian, born and raised in Cassilândia, Mato Grosso do Sul. And yes, she likes dancing. E-mail | Twitter | Google Scholar |
 María Paula Pascual Tudanca, doctoral student at UN Córdoba, funded by CONICET.Her interests include community ecology, conservation ecology, ecological interactions, and exotic species. Born and raised in Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz, at (almost) the very tip of the continent. Understandably, she hates hot weather. E-mail | Twitter |
 María Eugenia Vázquez Novoa, doctoral student at UN Córdoba.Euge’s research focuses on agroecology, plant community ecology, biodiversity, grazing effects, management of sustainable livestock systems. Born and raised in Córdoba, home to too many things to list here, including the oldest university in Argentina. |
Embryonic
 Gabriel Guerra, undergraduate student in Natural Resources, UN Cuyo.Gabriel studies the response of solitary bees and plant-bee interactions to livestock grazing. Born and raised in Godoy Cruz, Mendoza. He was lost in Colombia for several months but furtunately he made it back. |
Mutualist
 Alejandra Medero, Principal Professional, CONICET.Our technical guru, Ale assists us in all imaginable ways in the lab and in the field. Born and raised in Las Heras, Mendoza. She can make the world go round. |
