Research Interest
The work of the etho-ecological group is the main scientific production: 1) study of ecology and parental care of the aracnids; 2) Study of mechanisms and motivations in the recovery of an ecologically relevant goal. From this second point there are two other lines of research: a markedly ethophysical character deals with the relationship between perception and use of orienting factors and sensitivity reception, as well as the operation of the solar and moon compass mechanism and their relationships with the magnetic compass; the other deals with the biology and ecology of living arthropods in ecotonic environments and seeks to examine the relationship between some biological and environmental characteristics and spatial orientation mechanisms.
