Daniel Oro (born 12 May 1963) is a Spanish ecologist working as Professor of Research at CEAB-CSIC.
Career Daniel Oro received his biology degree from the University of Barcelona in 1986, and his doctorate in biology from the same University in 1996. After his PhD, he completed post-doc research stays at CEFE-CNRS (Montpellier) and University of Glasgow (UK). During 2000-2016, he served as Professor at IMEDEA CSIC-University of the Balearic Islands. In 2014, Oro received the Biodiversity and Society Award from the Generalitat Valenciana. His research interests are in animal demography and population dynamics, as well as behavioural processes in social species. He has also contributed to the study of transient dynamics in social-ecological systems, exploring how historical and contemporary anthropogenic influences shape ecosystem trajectories over long time scales.
