Alejandro Ruete

I study the ecology of species populations, especially their viability and ways to protect them. My personal goal is to develop quantitative tools for nature conservation, merging basic and applied science. I aim to translate all my findings directly into knowledge applicable to conservation biology.

I am also interested in taking advantage of opportunistic observations and non-systematic data collections (presence-only data) to make the best scientific inferences from them. These data possess great value that is often overlooked.

I earned my PhD in Conservation Biology at the Department of Ecology, SLU, Uppsala (Sweden). I hold an MSc in Wildlife Management from Cordoba National University (Argentina). Before that, I obtained my degree in Biological Sciences at Comahue National University, S.C. Bariloche (Argentina).
