Marcelino Fuentes

I have been doing two things lately. I have made computer simulations of species coexistence in ecological communities, to study how different evolutionary and ecological processes influence the patterns of relative abundance of species. And I am exploring the causes and consequences of different kinds of social policies that address environmental problems.
I am also interested in how ideology, as opposed to scientific evidence, can explain why scientists support some kinds of policies over others.
