Overview

Alberto Muñoz is affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council in Spain, focusing primarily on Environmental Science. Their research interests encompass Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Global and Planetary Change, Ecological Modeling, and Rehabilitation. The scientist's work integrates ecological and environmental processes, with particular attention to the dynamics of vegetation, wildlife conservation, and the effects of fire on ecosystems.

Their research topics include:

  • Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
  • Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
  • Fire effects on ecosystems
  • Species Distribution and Climate Change
  • Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies
  • Rangeland and Wildlife Management
  • Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery

Recent publications by Alberto Muñoz demonstrate a diverse engagement with ecological and medical fields. Selected papers include:

  • Analysing How Pre-Fire Habitat Legacy and Post-Fire Management Influence the Resilience of Reptiles to Fire, 2021, Forests
  • Effects of fire history on animal communities: a systematic review, 2022, Ecological Processes
  • Differential effects of fire on the occupancy of small mammals in neotropical savanna-gallery forests, 2021, Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation
  • Causes of the recent decline of a Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) population under an enhanced conservation scenario, 2022, Ibis
  • Early poststroke clinically significant fatigue predicts functional independence: a prospective longitudinal study, 2024, Frontiers in Neurology

The scientist has collaborated frequently with a network of coauthors, including Dolors Armenteras, Raúl Bonal, Tania Marisol González, Juan David González-Trujillo, and José Miguel Aparicio. These collaborations suggest a multidisciplinary approach and contributions to both ecological and neurological research.

Their publications have appeared in various specialized journals such as Ecological Processes, Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, Ibis, Frontiers in Neurology, and Molecular Ecology. This range indicates involvement in both ecological and medical research communities.
