Conservation ecologist specialised in trophic ecology, spatial ecology and systematic marine planning of marine megafauna. I am particularly interested in understanding the ecological role of large marine predators in ecosystems, their trophic relationships and the main ecological factors, both natural and human-mediated, that modulate their behavioural patterns and distribution as well as their interspecific interactions. For these studies, I use trophic (stable isotope mixing models, stomach content analysis), spatial (density models, systematic planning) and abundance (photo-identification, capture-recapture) techniques. I also use analytical techniques to assess traditional and emerging pollutant loads in marine species. All my scientific production has an applied focus with the ultimate aim of improving the conservation status of marine species using a holistic approach. My scientific career (including research short stays) has been developed in 15 institutions in 7 different countries, allowing me to collaborate with high-level scientists in different countries and institutions. These collaborations have led to the publication of 71 peer-reviewed scientific articles in prestigious journals in the field of marine ecology. These articles have received 2515 citations with an h-index of 28 and an i10 index of 42 (according to Google Scholar; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=tkorNC8AAAAJ&hl=es).
