We collect exhaustive empirical data on species interactions, environmental variables, and spatial distributions across Mediterranean ecosystems.
The Lab
Lab experiments enable us to control key variables, allowing us to uncover the mechanisms that shape species interactions and their relationships with the environment.
The Theory
Observations and experiments become algorithms and mathematical models. We build complex predictive models to simulate community dynamics, test coexistence theory, and forecast community resilience.
The MESSY Loop
Theory informs the next expedition and lab experiments. Models generate new hypotheses. The cycle repeats, bringing us closer to understanding the true nature of biodiversity.
