Dolores Ruiz-Lupión
Beginnings
I started my academic career obtaining Bachelor's degrees in Marine and Environmental Sciences at the Universities of Cádiz and Almería respectively. Later I studied a Master's Degree in Global Change Assessment at the University of Almería. This training gave me the opportunity to get a FPU pre-doctoral contract and start my research career. I did a Doctoral Thesis in Ecology at the Arid Zones Experimental Station (EEZA-CSIC) entitled: "An eco-evolutionary approach to ecological food webs through simulation".
Scientific Research
My scientific interest is the modelling and ecology of terrestrial and aquatic food webs, focusing on the population, ecological and evolutionary consequences of predator-prey interactions under multiple environmental conditions. And mainly, the integration of theoretical and empirical studies (both field and laboratory) in order to obtain quality data to parameterize and feed-back theoretical models.
Becoming a Scientific Illustrator
Throughout this period I have developed my skills as a Scientific Illustrator by using vector graphic design programs such as CorelDRAW or Inkscape. This has led me not only to illustrate my own scientific articles, but also to collaborate with a large number of senior and junior researchers in the preparation and design of oral communications, posters, composition of graphics, diagrams, iconographies,... , and to teach specialized graphic design courses for CSIC researchers.
Get to know my Scientific Articles and take a look at the ILLUSTRATIONS
Take a look at the graphics, diagrams, illustrations and other figures. From graphics out of R language (R core development team) to the most complex pictures have been painstakingly done.
