Research

Research in my group is focused on the inventory, classification and description of the biodiversity of continental Ichthyofauna, and includes the study of the evolutionary processes and mechanisms that give rise to their diversification. Given that the current biodiversity crisis affects our study organisms, we also study the genetic diversity of different organisms and threatened species, including vertebrates and invertebrates. In order to implement the inventory and classification of biodiversity, we apply an integrative taxonomy approach based on genetics, comparative anatomy, traditional and geometrical morphology, etc. Threatened species are studied through population studies and demographics, using non-invasive techniques and genetic markers such as microsatellites, SNPs, etc. In order to unravel the patterns and processes involved in the diversification of biodiversity, we construct phylogenies of diverse groups through traditional sequencing and phylogenomics. As part of the National Museum of Natural Sciences, my group cares about improving our scientific collections, such as the data repository of biological diversity, and we work towards adapting them to today's conservation challenges, ensuring open access to specimens to increase their usefulness for the study of diversity and global change.
