5) A new measure of structural stability for ecological applications. All the transient and asymptotic equilibria jointly play a fundamental role in the qualitative dynamics of Lotka-volterra systems: link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00285-024-02087-8
Structural stability of invasion graphs for Lotka–Volterra systems - Journal of Mathematical Biology
In this paper, we study in detail the structure of the global attractor for the Lotka–Volterra system with a Volterra–Lyapunov stable structural matrix. We consider the invasion graph as recently intr...

4) A Bayesian time-series model using stage-structured demographic transitions to understand the 40-year growth of the world’s largest colony of Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), impacted by disease outbreaks and shifting sanitary legislation. Ecological Applications: doi.org/10.1002/eap.....
Long‐term demographic dynamics of a keystone scavenger disrupted by human‐induced shifts in food availability
Scavenging is a key ecological process controlling energy flow in ecosystems and providing valuable ecosystem services worldwide. As long-lived species, the demographic dynamics of vultures can be di...

3) A Bayesian hierarchical analysis of the multi-decadal dynamics of the wintering waterfowl community in Doñana, a UNESCO World Heritage wetland. Exploring multi-scale environmental forcing and sampling variability. Journal of Animal Ecology: doi.org/10.1111/j.13...
Estimating partial observability and nonlinear climate effects on stochastic community dynamics of migratory waterfowl
1. Understanding the impact of environmental variability on migrating species requires the estimation of sequential abiotic effects in different geographic areas across the life cycle. For instance, ...

Size‐mediated non‐trophic interactions and stochastic predation drive assembly and dynamics in a seabird community
Theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that body size is a major life-history trait impacting on the structure and functioning of complex food webs. However, long-term analyses of size-dependent...

1) It all started in 2004: we explored the hierarchical causal impact of the ENSO and the NAO on the spatio-temporal expansion of the globally threatened White-headed duck (Oxyura leucocephala). Made it to the cover of Ecology Letters: doi.org/10.1111/j.14...
Complex structural effects of two hemispheric climatic oscillators on the regional spatio‐temporal expansion of a threatened bird
Links between climatic conditions in the eastern equatorial Pacific and extratropical ecological processes remain unexplored. The analysis of a 20-year time series of spatial and numeric dynamics of ...
