(Welcome to Aníbal Pauchard's Web Page)

Mis áreas de investigación y docencia incluyen  las invasiones de plantas exóticas,  la conservación de la biodiversidad y el manejo y diseño de áreas protegidas. Obtuve mi doctorado en el College of Forestry and Conservation de la Universidad de Montana, EEUU. Actualmente, soy Profesor Asociado en el Departamento de Manejo de Bosques y Medio Ambiente de la Facultad de Ciencias Forestales de la Universidad de Concepción, Chile y estoy adscrito como Científico Joven al Instituto de Ecología y Biodiversidad (IEB)

My research is focused mainly on the ecology of biological invasions and their impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. My collaborators and I have been studying alien plant invasions in natural and semi-natural areas across elevational gradients. The main question has been how alien plant species disperse into protected areas from the more disturbed adjacent matrix. We have looked at roads as major dispersal corridors, also into the interior of forests, grasslands and other ecosystems. By using a multi-scale approach, including the regional, landscape and local scales, we have been able to detect patterns of invasions and their relationships with other environmental and biotic variables. Additionally, we have been looking at larger intercontinental scales, specifically comparing plant invasions between California and Chile (two regions with similar climates). We have also co-founded the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) to search for the causes and impacts of invasion processes in mountain environments. About a year ago, in collaboration with Lohengrin Cavieres and colleagues from U of Concepción and the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity we founded the Lab of Biological Invasions (LIB). Currently, we are dedicated to understand invasion processes using a spatially-explicit approaches and also producing basic information for invasive species risk analysis.

I also becoming increasingly interested in broader issues in ecology and the management of natural resources. With Raphael Sagarin, we have coauthored a paper on observational ecology, emphasizing the need for more observation-based ecology in an era of rapid global changes. Issues of development and sustainability have also caught my attention. Martín Nuñez and I wrote a provocative piece on how the ecology and management of invasive species changes with the degree of development. More on these topics soon...
