Scientific Interests

My present interest is to apply wide-approach genomic methodologies to answer new questions in functional genomics, particularly in non-model organisms, relating evolution to ecology. My group is using transcriptomics and epigenomics (informed by ecological and physiological data) to study the ability of natural populations of vertebrates to adapt to environmental challenges, such as warming, hypoxia and pollution. One of the main research interest is how freshwater fish species cope with extreme events driven by climate in their native rivers. I´m also interested in the study of selective changes and its potential role in diversifications of natural populations and speciation of vertebrates.I have been also studying sex determination, gene regulation and epigenetic mechanisms in a polyploid fish.Moreover, I am continuing studies on phylogeny, phylogeography and population genetics, mainly in fish and other vertebrates.
