Hello to
every one,

My name
is Adina, I’m a Mexican student at CATIE, coursing the first year of a
master program (Management and Conservation of Tropical Forests and
Biodiversity).

I
obtained my degree in biology at UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México)
in 2005, with a thesis work on dispersal spectra variability in a heterogeneous
seasonally dry tropical landscape of southern Mexico (Tehuantepec Isthmus). Since
then I had the opportunity to take a course on ecological methods in Nicaragua
and work as a volunteer in the BOSAWAS (northeast Nicaragua) and Indio Maíz
(southeast Nicaragua) reserves. Before comming to CATIE I was working at CITRO
(Centro de Investigaciones Tropicales, Universidad Veracruzana) within a
botanical garden pilot project, characterizing a cloud mountain forest fragment
(vegetation structure and maps (GIS)).

My
general interests are vegetal community ecology, landscape ecology, and
functional diversity.

I’m glad
to be in this seminar, is a totally new thing to me,

Saludos,

Adina
