FERNANDEZ, Romina Daiana

My research focuses on the ecology of biological invasions, mainly in plants. I am a member of the team of experts in the IPBES global assessment of invasive alien species and their control; specifically, I participate in the global synthesis on the environmental, economic and social impacts (negative and positive) of these species. In my new postdoctoral project I will evaluate the underlying patterns of livestock de-intensification and its link with the invasion of exotic plants in northwestern Argentina.

GANDOY, Facundo Ariel

As a birdwatcher, I am interested in all aspects of the natural history of birds. However, my research line focuses on the processes of colonization of new environments. This is an area of growing interest due to the increasing change in distribution caused by introductions and climate change. During my postdoctoral period at the IER I will be specifically studying the colonization of Barn Swallow in Argentina, trying to understand the causes of population growth and the possible presence of micro-evolutionary changes due to the interaction with a new environment.

GELABERT, Cecilia
(Researcher at CONICET)
Workplace: Facultad de Ciencias Forestales (UNaM), El dorado, Argentina

I work on issues related to Land Use Systems in the Argentine Atlantic Forest. I am particularly interested in studying its evolution over time and its performance in socio-environmental terms.

My studies aim to contribute to the creation of carbon balance models in forest plantations, in order to analyze the impact of possible future scenarios of land uses. In particular, I will investigate the regional, spatial and temporal dynamics of carbon in the biomass and soil of Eucalyptus spp. plantations in the Uruguay River basin.
I am also interested in the study of changes in ecological processes of Celtis tala forests, associated with both the invasion of exotic tree species and the rehabilitation activities.

SPESCHA, Verónica

I work on issues related to Urban Ecology. Currently, I am studying the interactions between the socio-economic structure of cities, and the diversity and functioning of urban vegetation (Public green spaces and Urban gardens).

SPINELLI, Catalina

I am interested in the study of the dynamics of urban solid waste at different spatial and temporal scales. Specifically, I collaborate in the study of the socio-environmental impacts of open dumps. Additionally, I am interested in the degradation of plastics by insects.
