I am interested in understanding the factors and processes that determine the structure and dynamics of the populations and communities that inhabit them. Most of my studies focus on fish and corals and use both descriptive and experimental approaches, conducted across scales ranging from local to biogeographic. These include documenting local and macroecological patterns of distribution, abundance, and diversity of reef and intertidal fishes; the relationship between early life-history traits and the geographic distribution of fishes; recruitment patterns in fishes and corals; and fish-driven bioerosion on coral reefs. For two decades, I have devoted special effort to studying the dynamics of natural disturbance and recovery of coral reefs around Gorgona Island in the Colombian Pacific. I also maintain an interest in the drivers of large-scale variation in species richness, as well as the processes that affect the comprehensive documentation of regional fish faunas. I have recently begun to explore issues related to coral reef restoration and connectivity among marine fish populations.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1272\" aria-expanded=\"false\">CV Resumido<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1272\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1272\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><ul><li><strong>1995-hoy.<\/strong> Profesor Titular, Departamento de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia.<\/li><li><strong>2016-hoy.<\/strong> Miembro Correspondiente de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, F\u00edsicas y Naturales.<\/li><li><strong>2015-2019.<\/strong> Coordinador del Programa de Doctorado en Ciencias del Mar, Departamento de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad del Valle.<\/li><li><strong>2000-2002.<\/strong> Investigaci\u00f3n post-doctoral.
