Xoaquín Moreira is interested in the ecological and evolutionary processes that occur among different trophic levels (plants, herbivores and natural enemies), and predict how the future global change might influence various species interactions.

Luis Abdala-Roberts is an ecologist broadly interested in plant-animal interactions, focusing mainly on the effects of variation within (genetic diversity) and among species (e.g. functional diversity) on interactions, and how such effects feedback to shape ecological (trophic control, community stability) and evolutionary (e.g. selection on species traits) processes.
