Overview

Dani Boix is affiliated with the University of Girona in Spain. Their research primarily focuses on Environmental Science, with substantial contributions in related subfields such as Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Oceanography, and Environmental Chemistry.

The main topics covered in their work include aquatic ecosystems and phytoplankton dynamics, fish ecology and management studies, marine and coastal ecosystems, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, species distribution and climate change, aquatic invertebrate ecology and behavior, and land use and ecosystem services.

Boix has authored multiple papers published in various scientific journals. Recent publications include:

  • Challenges and opportunities in the use of ponds and pondscapes as Nature-based Solutions (2023, Hydrobiologia)
  • Perils of life on the edge: Climatic threats to global diversity patterns of wetland macroinvertebrates (2022, The Science of The Total Environment)
  • Metacommunity resilience against simulated gradients of wildfire: disturbance intensity and species dispersal ability determine landscape recover capacity (2021, Ecography)
  • A horizon scan exercise for aquatic invasive alien species in Iberian inland waters (2023, The Science of The Total Environment)
  • Heterogeneity in the isolation of patches may be essential for the action of metacommunity mechanisms (2023, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution)

Frequent co-authors in Boix's research include Stéphanie Gascón, Jordi Sala, Xavier D. Quintana, David Cunillera-Montcusí, and Jordi Compte.

The scientist's work has been consistently published in journals such as Hydrobiologia, The Science of The Total Environment, Inland Waters, SSRN Electronic Journal, and Ecography.

Boix has also contributed to book publications, including a title published by Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas: "Lista de especies exóticas acuáticas de la Península Ibérica (2020)." This reflects their engagement with aquatic invasive species and related ecological issues.
