Born in Santander (Spain) on the 15th August 1974. I finished my degree studies in Biology (Zoology) at the University of Oviedo (Spain) in 1997. I conducted my thesis work at the University of Oviedo (Spain), under the supervision of Florentino Braña, examining the ecological interactions between introduced fish and amphibians. I defended my PhD thesis in 2004. I conducted my postdoc between 2005-2011, in the group of Anssi Laurila at the Population and Conservation Biology Unit, Uppsala University (Sweden), where I examined the microgeographic variation of crucial life-history traits and the evolutionary potential of small and isolated populations, using the Swedish pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) as study model. Between December 2010-May 2018, I worked as Associate Researcher in Animal Ecology, Dept. Ecology and Genetics, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, examining the determinants of growth and development across latitudinal gradients in amphibians and starting work on radioecology. From June 2018-May 2023, I worked as Senior Researcher (Ramón y Cajal Program) at the University of Oviedo, Spain, also affiliated to the IMIB-Biodiversity Research Institute (Univ. Oviedo-CSIC-Princ. Asturias). Since June 2023, I am Associate Professor of Zoology at the University of Oviedo. Here, I teach about Evolutionary Biology and maintain a research program examining the effects that environmental variation, and in particular extreme environments, have on the evolutionary ecology and life-history strategies in organisms with complex-life cycles. Current projects deal mostly with the effects of low-dose radiation on a diverse range of genomic, physiological and ecological traits of amphibians. A second line of research focus on the update and use of the Zoological Collection of the University of Oviedo for the study of changes in the abundance, distribution and morphology of different groups of insects.
