Oscar Godoy
Researcher in EBD-CSIC
My research focuses on how species interactions—both among organisms and with their environment—shape the maintenance of biodiversity. I integrate theoretical approaches with experimental and observational studies, primarily in grassland and forest ecosystems, while increasingly expanding into marine systems. My work places particular emphasis on the demographic and functional drivers of multitrophic coexistence, as well as on the non-stationary dynamics of highly diverse ecological communities that encompass both positive and negative interactions.
Before establishing the MESSY Lab, I worked extensively on competitive exclusion theory and network ecology, with the goal of bridging the gap between abstract ecological theory and actionable conservation strategies.
