Research: My research is focused in two main areas: invasion ecology and biodiversity conservation. My collaborators and I have been studying alien plant invasions in protected areas in both south-central Chile and the Rocky Mountains in the USA. The main question has been how alien plant species disperse into protected areas from the more disturbed adjacent matrix. We have looked at roads as major dispersal corridors, also into the interior of forests, grasslands and other ecosystems. By using a multi-scale approach, including the regional, landscape and local scales, we have been able to detect patterns of invasions and their relationships with other environmental and biotic variables. Additionally, we have been looking at larger intercontinental scales, specifically comparing plant invasions between California and Chile (two regions with similar climates). Recently, we have also co-founded the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) to search for the causes and impacts of invasion processes in mountain environments. In relation to biodiversity conservation, I am presently involved in several initiatives to study semi-natural landscapes in order to propose alternative designs of protected areas networks. This work is been conducted in collaboration with major Chilean forest companies and NGOs.
