I have worked on topics involving the study of insect populations in relation to their environment, their diversity and distribution, speciation, reproductive habits and functional ecology. Currently my research interests are focused on the reproductive biology of groups such as Lepidoptera, Odonata and Coleoptera with the purpose of understanding their mating preferences. Testing predictions about how insect reproductive strategies determine their reproductive success, distribution, dispersal and interactions within the ecosystems they inhabit. Together with my students we have used as a model of study different taxa such as Sangalopsis viliterna, Ascia monuste, Leptophobia aripa (Lepidoptera); Coleoptera of the genus Phanaeus spp (Sacarabaeidae) and Dragonflies of the family Libelullidae.
Other ideas are directed to the analysis of the variation of sexual characters in insect populations with different mating systems and the possible knowledge derived from them for the conservation of species and their habitats. Other sexual selection, geometric morphometry.
