Stella de la Torre

Mis intereses de investigación se enmarcan principalmente en las áreas de la biología evolutiva, la ecología y la conservación. Actualmente, junto a un gran número de colaboradores, trabajo principalmente en tres líneas de investigación: la biogeografía y filogeografía de aves andinas, tanto a nivel regional como a nivel local; la ecología de las infecciones por malaria aviar; y la utilización de sistemas de información geográfica (y otras herramientas) para la delimitación de áreas de conservación y la evaluación del efecto del cambio climático en las poblaciones naturales.
