Belinda Gallardo is affiliated with the Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología in Spain. Their research spans across Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a focus on subfields such as Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecological Modeling, Insect Science, and Global and Planetary Change.

Their work covers a range of topics including Species Distribution and Climate Change, Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Forest Insect Ecology and Management, Fish Ecology and Management Studies, Plant and Animal Studies, and Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies.

Gallardo has contributed to several recent papers, including:

  • A proposed unified framework to describe the management of biological invasions (2020, Biological Invasions)
  • Preventing and controlling nonnative species invasions to bend the curve of global freshwater biodiversity loss (2023, Environmental Reviews)
  • Depopulation impacts on ecosystem services in Mediterranean rural areas (2021, Ecosystem Services)
  • A global database for metacommunity ecology, integrating species, traits, environment and space (2020, Scientific Data)
  • The EICAT+ framework enables classification of positive impacts of alien taxa on native biodiversity (2022, PLoS Biology)

The scientist has frequently published in venues such as Biological Invasions, Scientific Data, DIGITAL.CSIC (Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)), The Science of The Total Environment, and NeoBiota.

Gallardo's collaborative network includes frequent co-authors such as Montserrat Vilà, Sven Bacher, Jonathan M. Jeschke, Pablo González-Moreno, and David C. Aldridge.

Regarding book publications, Gallardo has contributed to works published by the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, including the book Lista de especies exóticas acuáticas de la Península Ibérica (2020).
