Overview

Pascual López-López is affiliated with the University of Valencia in Spain, with a primary research focus in Environmental Science. Their work encompasses several interconnected subfields, including Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Ecological Modeling, Nature and Landscape Conservation, and Global and Planetary Change.

The main topics covered in their research include Avian ecology and behavior, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Animal Behavior and Reproduction, Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation, Species Distribution and Climate Change, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, and Bird parasitology and diseases.

Recent publications highlight their contributions to the study of avian species, energy expenditure in raptors, and broader ecological concerns. Notable papers include:

  • Differential survival throughout the full annual cycle of a migratory bird presents a life-history trade-off, 2021, Journal of Animal Ecology
  • Hotspots in the grid: Avian sensitivity and vulnerability to collision risk from energy infrastructure interactions in Europe and North Africa, 2022, Journal of Applied Ecology
  • Tri-axial accelerometry shows differences in energy expenditure and parental effort throughout the breeding season in long-lived raptors, 2021, Current Zoology
  • Large-Scale Quantification and Correlates of Ungulate Carrion Production in the Anthropocene, 2022, Ecosystems
  • Population Decline of the Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus aquitanicus in the Central Pyrenees, 2020, Ardeola

López-López frequently collaborates with a core group of co-authors that includes Vicente Uríos, Jon Morant, Íñigo Zuberogoitia, Sara Morollón, and Andrés López-Peinado.

The scientist's research outputs are often published in venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Scientific Reports, Journal für Ornithologie, Ornithological Applications, and Preprints.org.
