Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aitor Somoano"
- Aitor Somoano's research primarily focuses on the ecological impacts of various rodent species, particularly their roles in agricultural ecosystems and pest management strategies. His studies include assessing the behavior and physiological mechanisms of voles as well as the genetic structure of pest populations influenced by landscape characteristics.
- Recent findings suggest that chemical signals from voles can potentially be utilized for sustainable agricultural practices by inducing stress responses to drive these pests away from crops, while also highlighting the influence of complex landscapes on gene flow and population dynamics in pest vole species.
- Somoano has also engaged in the molecular identification of tick-borne pathogens in local ecosystems, emphasizing the need for better understanding of disease vectors and interactions between wildlife and agricultural practices in North-Western Spain.
