Jordi Pagès Fauria

Born in Girona, he graduated in Biology from the University of Barcelona (2008) and also completed his master's degree in Ecology (2009) at the same university. During his doctorate (2009-2013) at the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes (CEAB-CSIC), he focused on understanding the interaction between the environment, animal behaviour, and disturbances in influencing the functioning of macrophyte community ecosystems.

He is currently a Sêr Cymru researcher at Bangor University (Wales, United Kingdom), within the NRN-LCEE funded Resilcoast project, which aims to integrate ecosystem resilience into coastal planning. Through this project, he collaborates with GAME to better understand the relationship between ecosystem persistence and carbon sequestration.

He has a strong interest in theoretical and experimental ecology. His research encompasses five main areas: 1) biotic interactions, especially herbivores, plant-animal and predator-prey relationships 2) landscape ecology, particularly to understand the factors of spatial heterogeneity in ecosystem processes 3) the effects of disturbances on plant and animal species 4) understanding ecosystem stability and alternative stable states 5) drivers and consequences of animal movement in ecosystem functioning.
