Environmental conditions during early life accelerate the rate of senescence in a short-lived passerine bird
(Ecological Society of America, 2015)
Environmental conditions experienced in early life may shape subsequent phenotypic traits including life history. We investigated how predation risk caused by domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) and local breeding density ...

Multiple components of environmental change drive populations of breeding waders in seminatural grasslands
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)
Environments are rapidly changing due to climate change, land use, intensive agriculture, and the impact of hunting on predator populations. Here, we analyzed longterm data recorded during 1928–2014 on the size of breeding ...

From local monitoring to a broad-scale viability assessment: a case study for the Bonelli’s Eagle in western Europe
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-05)
Population viability analysis (PVA) has become a basic tool of current conservation practice. However, if not accounted for properly, the uncertainties inherent to PVA predictions can decrease the reliability of this type ...

Rainfall at African wintering grounds predicts age-specific probability of haemosporidian infection in a migratory passerine bird
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-10-01)
In migratory species breeding in temperate zones and wintering in tropical areas, the prevalence of blood parasites may be affected by migratory strategies and winter habitat choice. We explored whether African winter ...

Age-dependent carry-over effects in a long-distance migratory bird
(Nature, 2019)
Migratory birds usually respond to climate change by modifying breeding and/or wintering areas, as well as by reproducing earlier. In addition, changes in winter habitat use or breeding phenology could have important ...
Tesis Doctoral
Linking different worlds: migration ecology in two species of hirundines
(2019-05-03)
El comportamiento migratorio constituye una de las adaptaciones más espectaculares de los seres vivos frente a los cambios ambientales del planeta. Este comportamiento ha evolucionado en diversos grupos taxonómicos, desde ...

Effects of Interspecific Coexistence on Laying Date and Clutch Size in Two Closely Related Species of Hole-nesting Birds
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)
Coexistence between great tits Parus major and blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus, but also other hole-nesting taxa, constitutes a classic example of species co-occurrence resulting in potential interference and exploitation ...
Artículo
Environmental conditions during winter predict age- and sex-specific differences in reproductive success of a trans-Saharan migratory bird
(Nature Research, 2017)
Previous studies have linked winter habitat with subsequent breeding phenology and physical condition of migratory birds, but few have found delayed effects of winter habitat on subsequent reproductive success. The aim of ...

Assessing multivariate constraints to evolution across ten long-term avian studies
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Background In a rapidly changing world, it is of fundamental importance to understand processes constraining or facilitating adaptation through microevolution. As different traits of an organism covary, genetic correlations ...

Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient
(Nature Research, 2019)
Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between phenotype and environment, i.e. whether observed ...
