Jesús E Arias-González
Summary
I am a biologist from the Faculty of Science at UNAM, Mexico. I then obtained an MSc in Marine Science at CICESE, Mexico. I had the opportunity to participate in a doctoral fellowship with the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes and the CONACYT-SPHERE Program. I was then able to conduct my Ph.D. thesis at the Laboratoire d’Excelence Corail at Moorea Island. After completion, by a repatriation and retention fellow from CONACYT-CINVESTAV, I began working at the Departamento de Recursos del Mar at CINVESTAV-Unidad Mérida in 1994, where I am currently a researcher and full professor. I have founded and I am responsible for the Laboratorio de Ecologia de Ecosistemas de Arrecifes Coralinos (LEEAC). My research interests include four primary areas related to coral reef ecology: landscape ecology; ecosystem diversity and function; resilience and connectivity of fish and corals in reefs of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.
In Mexico, I am a founding member of the Consejo Científico y Técnico de los Arrecifes Coralinos and its first president. I am also a founding member of the Sociedad Mexicana de Arrecifes Coralinos. I have also participated in various national macro projects the Mexican Ecosystem Network-CONACyT stand out and GASPAR-CESAB-FRB. I am a Mexican Senior Research Fellow-CONACyT (SNI III) and active member of the Mexican Academy of Science,
