Overview

Martina Carrete is affiliated with Pablo de Olavide University in Spain and specializes in Environmental Science with a strong focus on ecology and conservation. Their research portfolio includes over one hundred publications, with significant contributions to subfields such as Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Genetics, and Parasitology.

Their work often intersects with topics related to Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Avian ecology and behavior, Wildlife Conservation and Criminology Analyses, Animal Behavior and Reproduction, Plant and animal studies, Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies, and Bird parasitology and diseases. This reflects a multidisciplinary approach to understanding ecological dynamics and species interactions, particularly in avian and wildlife contexts.

Recent publications include:

  • "Renewables in Spain threaten biodiversity," 2020, Science
  • "Opportunistic or Non-Random Wildlife Crime? Attractiveness Rather Than Abundance in the Wild Leads to Selective Parrot Poaching," 2020, Diversity
  • "Apex scavengers from different European populations converge at threatened savannah landscapes," 2022, Scientific Reports
  • "A protective nesting association with native species counteracts biotic resistance for the spread of an invasive parakeet from urban into rural habitats," 2020, Frontiers in Zoology
  • "Large-scale movement patterns in a social vulture are influenced by seasonality, sex, and breeding region," 2023, Ecology and Evolution

Martina Carrete frequently collaborates with several researchers in the field, including José L. Tella, Guillermo Blanco, Pedro Romero-Vidal, Fernando Hiraldo, and Juan Manuel Pérez-García. These partnerships have resulted in a substantial body of research spanning multiple topics within environmental and ecological sciences.

Their publications are frequently found in venues such as Scientific Reports, Ecology and Evolution, Diversity, Current Zoology, and Diversity and Distributions. This indicates a consistent contribution to journals emphasizing ecological research and biodiversity.
