We try to understand how top-down control from top and intermediate predators affect ecosystem processes behind ecosystem services, such as litter decomposition and biological pest control (BPC). We conduct field and laboratory experiments and link them to computer simulations in a feedback research program. We feed our simulations with real …

The Functional Ecology group of the Arid Zones Experimental Station, an Institute of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) in Almería (Spain), is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow to address plant-soil and plant-plant interactions in dry and high-elevation environments. Interactions among plants, soil organisms, and abiotic conditions influence plant performance, species diversity, …

Understanding the processes driving interactions between hosts and parasites is paramount from ecological, evolutionary and epidemiological points of view. This topic attains far-reaching repercussions for animal and human welfare, especially regarding those parasites transmitting vector-borne diseases. Research on host-parasite interactions requires an integrated multilevel approach combining the underlying physiological and …
