Scholar-generated biography
Estibaliz Palma is a researcher at the University of Melbourne whose work focuses on invasion biology, urban ecology, and biodiversity conservation. Her research explores how urbanization affects plant functional traits and species invasiveness, with an emphasis on the role of indigenous plants in promoting insect biodiversity. Palma also investigates the ecological impacts of invasive species, including the European firebug in Australia, and the potential of citizen science in documenting species introductions and spread. Her studies integrate ecological theory with empirical data to develop models for predicting invasion potential and understanding the interactions between species and their environments.
