BioMa conducts research that seeks to understand the impact of human activity on forest ecosystems, focusing on species facing conservation problems, as well as species related to the dynamics of dead wood, including woodpeckers and birds that feed on tree trunks, saproxylic insects, vertebrates and invertebrates that use cavities and epiphytic organisms. BioMa also addresses the socioeconomic problems derived from the environmental crisis that impact forestry and agriculture activities such as apiculture, livestock farming and traditional crops. In another line, the laboratory aims to understand how the global environmental changes are transmitted and impact ecosystems, and how this phenomenon favors the spread of invasive species and diseases.
