Ecologist interested in everything, especially plant-animal interactions, ecoacoustics and phenology. Combining science with motherhood.
More than 7000 flamingos were spotted today, added to many other bird species. Not in a very remote place, but in Doñana! A wonderful visit to Veta la Palma that really made me feel very happy and fortunate with this work.

Just accepted paper in
@IBIS_journal! This is the 1st published output of the WABAD dataset, including > 5,000 bird-annotated audios all over the world. A huge collaborative effort led by Cristian Pérez-Granados, Esther Sebastián and David Funosas. More fun research coming soon!! #ecoacoustics

Happy Halloween from Doñana National Park (SW Spain)!

Yesterday, I went back to Doñana's marshaland after almost one year. The extraordinay flooding of this spring and summer made innaccesible the area by car until now, what is a problem to replace batteries and cards of #AudioMoths. Always a luxury to work here. #BIRDeep

I'm thrilled to share with you our lattest publication with the brilliant Alba Márquez as the first author. We propose here a two-stage pipeline for analyzing audios from a acoustic monitoring programme in #Doñana; 1) using a detector of vocalizations, 2) a fine-tuned classificator. #bioacoustics

"Our field kits are better equiped for snake bites than for #menstruation". Very impacting presentation from @paleobicha.bsky.social explaining how we overlook menstruation in field work campaings. #SIBECOLAEET2025 @eco-aeet.bsky.social www.revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec...

This was the full list of speakers. And the chairs of the session! Come to chat if you are around the #SIBECOLAEET2025 meeting.

We have had a great session on ecoacoustics at the #SIBECOLAEET2025 meeting in Pontevedra. Great speakers and very interesting questions from the audience, it was a great success! @eco-aeet.bsky.social @bigbiodataaeet.bsky.social #REIE #bioacoustics

Esta tarde daré una charla dentro del ciclo de martes ornitológicos de la SEO BirdLife en Sevilla. Será a las 19:00 en la Biblioteca de la Univ. Pablo de Olavide. Hablaré sobre el proyecto #BIRDeep y el seguimiento ecoacústico de Doñana para conocer sus aves. ¡Estáis todos invitados! #ecoacoustics

¡Siempre es una alegría reencontrate con colegas a los que ves pocos y compartir un día de interés y aprendizaje de la naturaleza! Gracias a Observation.org por la organización!

Participé este sábado en la 5ª edición del Bioblitz de la @pablodeolavide para ayudar en la identificación de plantas y polinizadores. Había una gran diversidad de especies, entre otras, la bella Ophrys apifera. Puedes ver todas las observaciones aquí: observation.org/bioblitz/176...

In this work, we develop a Bird Song Detector to analyze audios coming from a PAM in Doñana National Park. Detecting first which audios have bird vocalization improves later classification. #bioacoutics

It's raining at Doñana National Park after five years of drought and this is wonderful news, even if you need to struggle a bit to replace batteries and SIM cards of your @AudioMoth! #ecoacoustics

La #CRUE no consigue un acuerdo con la editorial #Elsevier para conseguir subvencionar las publicaciones OA de sus investigadores. Desconozco los detalles, pero imagino que Elsevier haría un acuerdo abusivo. Nos deja mal parados a los que tenemos artículos en revisión que contaban con esa ayuda.

Muchas compañeras y yo salimos en este bonito cartel que ha hecho la Estación Biológica de Doñana para celebrar el #11F. Por una ciencia más inclusiva y diversa, reivindicamos el #diamujeryninaciencia. ¡Porque todas hacemos ciencia! @EbdIgualdad @ebdonana.bsky.social

As a part of the PhD thesis of Loréna Boisseau, we have installed several #AudioMoths at two parks of Seville (Spain). Our purpose is to monitor the acoustic impact of the invasive parakeets present at Seville city. Combining #urbanEcology, #invasivespecies and ##bioacoustics! @ebdonana.bsky.social

An enjoyable fieldwork day today: we went to Doñana National Park to change the batteries and SIM cards of #AudioMoths and watched many birds for our parallel census by experts. Doñana with some water is awesome! #BIRDeep @ebdonana.bsky.social @ictsdonana.bsky.social #ecoacoustics

A great #EBDSeminar today by Miguel Jácome talking on conservation and interactions at Usumacinta River (México). You can watch the full seminar here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsk1...

Tuvimos un taller sobre la violencia de baja intensidad en el ámbito científico dentro de la @ebdonana.bsky.social, organizada por el Comité de Igualdad.

Salieron muchos testimonios duros, demostrando que hay muchas situaciones en las que nos sentimos incómodas en el ámbito científico.

Este jueves 21 a la 1 daré un #EBDseminar en la @ebdonana sobre la monitorización acústica de #Doñana que estamos haciendo en el proyecto #BIRDeep. Lo puedes ver en streaming (o grabado) en Youtube: youtube.com/live/-hkN2Y-...

We were ringing beautiful birds this week at Sierra de Grazalema with this wonderful team! #MISMATCH

Better latter than never! My project #MISMATCH finally has a very cool logo, done by the
@CSIC designers. In this project, we have looked at interaction mismatches due to phenological uncoupling between birds a fruits.
Thanks a lot!

Very proud of being part of the Equality Committee at Doñana Biological Station (CSIC). We will presenting this poster at the next meeting of all equality committees of the CSIC. During last years, we have fighted for a better and more inclusive institution, especially focused on women in science.
