Juan Manuel González Olalla; Degree in Environmental Sciences by University of Granada (Spain) and Ph.D. in Ecology by University of Granada and Polytechnic University of Marche (Italy), 2019; My research in the field of ecology has focused on the study of the interactive effects of abiotic factors of global change on the dynamics of the microbial community (phytoplankton and bacteria) of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Specifically, I have studied the algae-bacteria interaction in trophic webs, mixotrophic protists and their metabolism. In the near future, my interest is focused on the study of morphological and physiological key traits among phytoplankton groups that help us to understand its distribution and abundance, as well as its response against to global change stressors.
