Autorenporträt

Daniel Oro is Professor of Research at CSIC, the largest research body in Spain. He founded the Population Ecology Group to attract researchers interested in quantitative ecology, evolution and conservation of threatened species. He is now a member of the Theoretical and Computational Ecology Laboratory at CEAB. For the past thirty years, he has used long-term data to study animal demography to unravel the processes driving the complex population dynamics of a range of species, from butterflies and fat dormouses to seabirds and dolphins.
