Our lab is oriented towards developing scientific advances for the understanding of the structure, functioning and dynamics of ecological systems, with emphasis on freshwater communities. Our horizon is to understand how form and function of ecological systems interact to give rise observed biodiversity, and use this knowledge to project the responses of living systems to actual or potential environmental disruptions.

Presently, our group performs theoretical as well as experimental research in the fields of theoretical ecology with emphasis on dynamics of complex ecological networks, ecology of freshwater zooplankton and ecotoxicology.

We are located at the Biodiversity Laboratories of the National Center for the Environment (CENMA), a Foundation of the University of Chile.
