Llanos-Guerrero César
César Llanos-Guerrero began his academic journey by graduating in Sports Sciences from the University of Alcalá de Henares in 2017. Driven by his fascination for Biology, he furthered his education by obtaining a degree in this discipline from the University of Salamanca in 2022.
During his university years, César collaborated on various research projects focused on mammal ecology, particularly in the study of bats, small mammals, and carnivores. His bachelor's thesis involved a comprehensive 4-year study of the ecology and diversity of the mesocarnivore community, utilizing occupancy models to better understand their population dynamics.
Subsequently, during his Master's degree in Terrestrial Ecology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, he joined the BiBio Group (Biodiversity and Bioindicators) at the Natural Sciences Museum of Granollers in 2022. He gained valuable research experience in the field of mammal ecology, participated in the monitoring of different species, and contributed to the acoustic analysis of edible dormice. His Master's thesis focused on the population response of small mammals to seed availability in Mediterranean ecosystems.
Currently, César serves as a technician in the Dormouse project and the SEMICE project, where he focuses on garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus) and semiaquatic small mammals (Neomys sp, Arvicola sapidus, and Galemys pyrenaicus) monitoring, as well as providing support in the edible dormouse (Glis glis) and common small mammals monitoring.
His primary interest lies in investigating the impact of agricultural land abandonment on mammal diversity in the Mediterranean region, with the aim of his future doctoral thesis. His goal is to contribute to the understanding of how changes in land use affect mammal populations in these ecosystems.
With a solid academic background and research experience, César Llanos-Guerrero is committed to the study and conservation of mammals and hopes to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this field.
