MARTÍ MARCH SALAS
EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGIST AND CONSERVATION BIOLOGIST
PROJECTS
I have been granted with 11 projects as Principal Investigator (Total Funding: 526,996 €) in the field of cliff ecology, evolutionary biology and biodiversity conservation. Furthermore, I have been collaborating in 14 international/national projects (as a team member working co-supervising students, involved in fieldwork activities, as data analyst, co-coordinator, and/or WP leader) based on restoration ecology, global change effects in mountain ecosystems, evolutionary ecology and biology (total budget of c. €2,612,540). In the projects that I lead, I have formed a collaborative network with more than 40 researchers from 13 countries (Australia, Italy, South Africa, the USA, Chile, Mexico, Poland, Germany, Greece, France, Spain, Belgium, Austria) and more than 20 Research centers.
