I am also interested in animal-plant interactions and joining effects caused by the presence of herbivore species in sympatry, both native and exotic, including invasive species. Ungulates are an optimal model to undertake these goals. As for the CSG membership, I am devoted to the aoudad (aka Barbary sheep) Ammotragus lervia conservation status, as well as its distribution worldwide, both in its native lands and where it has been introduced as an exotic.
