She has extensive experience in the study of plant-animal interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, mainly in islands, evaluating the impact of global change in native ecological interactions, using the approach of network theory. She has been principal investigator of 19 of 53 national projects, and Spanish responsible in 5 of the 11 internationals in which she have participated. She is currently coordinating projects in the Balearics Islands, the Canary Islands, the Galapagos Islands and the Seychelles. have.

She has supervised numerous students and serves on the editorial board of several journals of ecology, including Oikos, AoB Plants, Diversity & Distributions, Journal of Pollination Ecology, PeerJ and PLANTS. She has also edited two 'special issues', one in J. Biogeography (2012) and another in AoB Plants (2015), and a book on '”Plant Invasions: the role of Species Interactions” commissioned by CABI. She has been a Spanish representative in several national and international committees (e.g. LIFE, EURODIVERSITY, IUBS) and a member of an evaluation panel (L8) of the advanced ERC grants in the period 2012-2014.
