Expertise and Research Interests
1.- Terrestrial Biodiversity, impacts of Pesticides on Soil Fauna. Assessing and forecasting changes in soil fauna biodiversity. Snails, Slugs, Earthworms, Mites, Nematodes, Collembolans,...
2.- Collateral Effect of Pesticides on Soil Fauna. Molluscicides, Herbicides, Fungicides, Acari-cides, Nematicides, etc. on soil dwellers - Snails, Slugs, Earthworms, Mites, Nematodes, Collembolans,... - in soil forest fauna and farm land (Horticultural and Agricultural crops).
3.- Land Snails Pest Control on agricultural crops.
4.- Molluscicides. Biocontrol Land Snails Horticultural pest with Nematodes. New molluscicides based on plant extracts with ovicide activity on slug eggs.
5.- Biodiversity of Terrestrial Gastropods (Snails and Slugs) ) and Earthworms (Lumbricidae on Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal).
6.- Biological Cycle of Land Snails (Snails and Slugs) on wild nature and horticultural crops.
7.- Heliciculture. Zootechnic activity of rearing the land snail Helix aspersa. Designed a Land snail feedstuff form farm use and innovative formulation presentation as sheet- fodders.

Future Research
To transfer to Hispano America our knowledge on Biodiversity, Slug Pests control for keeping the land snails biodiversity and improving the land horticultural production preserving the soil fauna. Make a network inside Europe, to evaluate and control thecollateral effect of Pesticides on Soil Fauna. Work on Molluscicides based on plant extracts.
