Overview

Jorge M. Lobo is affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council in Spain and has contributed extensively to the field of environmental science. Their work predominantly focuses on ecological modeling, nature and landscape conservation, and various aspects of ecology, including evolution, behavior, and systematics. The breadth of their research spans significant topics within these areas, particularly concentrating on species distribution and climate change, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, and wildlife ecology and conservation.

Lobo's research interests also include plant and animal studies, Scarabaeidae beetle taxonomy and biogeography, physiological and biochemical adaptations, and land use and ecosystem services. These topics reflect a detailed engagement with biodiversity, species dynamics, and environmental impacts on ecosystems globally.

Their recent publications encompass multiple studies addressing biodiversity conservation, uncertainty in ecological models, and the influence of climate change on species distribution. Notable papers include:

  • The biased distribution of existing information on biodiversity hinders its use in conservation, and we need an integrative approach to act urgently, 2023, published in Biological Conservation
  • Using maps of biogeographical ignorance to reveal the uncertainty in distributional data hidden in species distribution models, 2021, published in Ecography
  • High uncertainty in the effects of data characteristics on the performance of species distribution models, 2020, published in Ecological Indicators
  • Optimizing biodiversity informatics to improve information flow, data quality, and utility for science and society, 2020, published in Frontiers of Biogeography
  • Predicting the effects of climate change on future freshwater fish diversity at global scale, 2021, published in Nature Conservation

Lobo has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Emilio García-Roselló, Jacinto González-Dacosta, Joaquín Hortal, Mario Mingarro, and David Sánchez-Fernández. These collaborations have contributed to a range of publications across various ecological and biogeographical topics.

Their work has been published in multiple venues, with repeated contributions to the Journal of Biogeography, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Insect Conservation and Diversity, and Environmental Conservation. This highlights a diverse publishing record across both broad and specialized environmental science journals.
