África Gómez studies aquatic and urban ecology, examining how organisms adapt to unpredictable environments and how natural spaces support biodiversity. Recent work focuses on urban blue and green spaces (such as ponds, rivers, and parks) and their role in supporting wildlife and benefiting people, alongside earlier research on the genetics of aquatic invertebrates like rotifers and zooplankton. Methods include DNA-based approaches such as barcoding and environmental DNA for measuring biodiversity.
