The scientific vocation of the Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology is to describe the animal biodiversity patterns and infer and demonstrate the mechanisms and processes underlying this from an evolutionary perspective. The scales of analysis are very broad, ranging from the taxonomic description to molecular analysis for describing phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns from aspects related to demographics, behavior and interactions between local species. The groups studied are very different animals, including Rotifera, Turbellaria, nematodes, molluscs, crustaceans, an enormous variety of insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

Evolutionary Ecology
The Department created in 1993 is composed of a dynamic and expert staff who work together with quite large number of graduate students to understand the patterns and processes that structure ecological systems and drive evolutionary change. The pressing challenges facing society today, such as combating habitat loss, climate change, saving endangered species, managing exploited resources, or slowing the spread of infectious disease, have their root in ecological and evolutionary forces.

This department is dedicated to the study of the effects of global change and extreme environments on ecosystem structure and functioning, including the ecological implications of microbes in biogeochemical cycling and organic compound degradation. Our ultimate goal is to develop a mechanistic view of ecosystems to model biogeochemical process under global change drivers. The department is comprised of a multidisciplinary group of scientists with expertise on biogeochemistry, aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, microbial ecology and geomicrobiology.

Biogeography deals with the causes of biological diversity in space and time. The insights learned from the analysis of biogeographical patterns are essential for making scientifically-informed decisions in conservation.
Research in biogeography typically requires a hierarchical understanding of the processes affecting biodiversity at different spatial and temporal scales. Such processes range from rapid, local, individual-level responses to microclimatic changes based on physiological or phenotypic plastic mechanisms, to processes acting at large spatial and temporal scales operating at the level of populations, species, communities or ecosystems. Latter processes include local adaptation, range shifts, speciation and extinction, as well as changes in trophic and non-trophic webs of interactions at continental or global scales.
The Department of Biogeography and Global Change of the National Museum of Natural Sciences (BGC-MNCN) integrates a multidisciplinary research group interested in the description and analysis of patterns and processes of current and past biological diversity, including scientists interested in understanding, predicting and, eventually, mitigating the effects of global change on the biota.

The Department of Geology is focused on quality scientific research with respect to the Earth physical systems at different spatial and temporal scales, including the causes and potential consequences of natural Earth processes (e.g. sea level changes, floods, climate change and carbon cycle) and the genesis, availability, distribution and potential depletion of natural resources (e.g. soil & soil pollution, water, minerals and rocks).
The Department of Geology aims at making an important contribution to the scientific understanding of societal issues such as climate change, natural and cultural heritage, environmental pollution, soil and water management, genesis and exploitation of rocks and mineral resources, natural hazards (river floods, coastal flooding), and international development collaboration.

The main objective of Palaeobiology consists of deciphering the history of life on our planet by means the description of different species found in the fossil record, the determination of their kinship and evolutionary patterns in their living and fossil contexts. This provides valuable information to analyse climatic and ecological changes that occurred in earlier geological periods. Research conducted at the Department of Palaeobiology is focused on the study of fossils, with several research groups devoted to mammals from the Cenozoic, and special attention given to human palaeobiology, as well as amphibians, sauropsids and the origin of plants, together with taphonomic studies.
Understanding the complexity of Earth, which is constantly changing, is only possible through the investigation of the natural processes that operate at different spatial and time scales. The main objective of Researchers of the Department of Palaeobiology is to reach such understanding, through the integration of the information obtained by multiple disciplines and techniques, the causes and processes involved in the fluctuations of the palaeobiodiversity, its ecological structure, and the generation of evolutionary novelties in a changing palaeoenvironmental framework, with evolution of the palaeo-ecosystems and their determinants (geological processes, climatic and biogeographical). It analyzes the processes related to the evolution of organisms from the past and involved in the morphological variability, geographical distribution, taphonomy, relative abundance, ecological structure of the associations, migratory movements and its extinction at different scales.

The group conducts research projects related to the factors and mechanisms that determine the resilience of marine benthic ecosystems face to the global change impacts. To this end the group adopted a multidisciplinary ranging from taxonomy and systematics, to species biology, structure and dynamics of populations and communities, both benthic and planktonic, and the relationship of biological processes with environmental factors. The multidisciplinary approach implies that the studies contemplate a wide range of analytical, experimental (in the field and in the laboratory), statistical and modeling techniques. The team works mainly in the littoral and platform benthic ecosystems in which it has a long experience (campaigns in oceanographic and coastal areas with SCUBA-diving). The research activities is complemented by a long experience in educational and scientific outreach activities.,

Since its creation in 1990, the research group has been studying continent-ocean interactions within the coastal ecosystem, including continental flows and their implications for the marine environment, mainly the nutritional enrichment of coastal waters and its consequences: harmful algal blooms and eutrophication. These studies include researching the mechanisms relevant to the associated biological processes and the relationships between continental inputs, spatial structure, and land use. The group is mainly devoted to basic science but it also addresses the growing demands arising from management criteria and legislation enacted by society and, in particular, by the European Union on environmental quality, human health and wellbeing. Currently, funding of the PBL’s research has been secured until 2024 mainly from European public sources. The group also has a strong commitment to science dissemination and outreach.,

The scientific collection of vertebrates includes specimens - naturalized or conserved in alcohol – of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Very recently an invertebrate collections is being set up (insects and mites). These items are available to scientists worldwide for use in the study of systematics, zoogeography, ecology, genetics, etc. and are from different geographical areas: the Iberian Peninsula, Africa, South America and Asia. The collection of fishes is the smallest, with some 9,000 specimens (300 species); the herpetological collection contains 22,000 specimens of reptiles (450 species) and 15,000 amphibians (150 species); the ornithological collection has around 33,000 specimens (2,300 species); and the mammal collection some 34,000 specimens (1,300 species). Currently the main aim is the use of the collection by the scientific community, completing and updating the stock catalogue and facilitating access to it. Due to the considerable number of requests for tissue samples for molecular genetics research, a tissue bank has been set up with mammal dermal specimens. Since 2017, the Scientific Collections are part of our Large Scale Facility ICTS-RBD,

Our goal is to improve the conceptual integration of the different levels of complexity in explaining trait evolution and species diversification. We are pushing the boundaries of current evolutionary theory by examining the possible role of both genetic and non-genetic inheritance, the role of the environment as a phenotypic inductor via epigenetic regulation, and the possibility that such epigenetic changes may evolve under selection into accommodated genetic variation. One important characteristic of this research line is its interdisciplinary component, based on the integration of several approaches, mainly evolutionary ecology, population genetics, and theoretical ecology. This results in an eminently collaborative research. We dig into the histories of species, populations and communities using both traditional genetics and new omics tools. By incorporating and consolidating novel molecular techniques we seek to test ecological hypotheses, study host-parasite interactions, and identify functional polymorphisms in candidate genes to account for ecologically and evolutionarily divergent life history traits.,

Nevertheless due to historical and practical reasons most of our work deals with vertebrates. We use long-term data series to evaluate changes in composition, processes and dynamics in ecosystems, communities, populations and individuals as well as the impact of specific human activities at local, regional and global levels and the role of global change drivers. We make use techniques from many disciplines (physiology, epidemiology, complex systems modeling, etc) in order to determine causes, evaluate effects and make projections.

Our group applies many different approaches within inland and estuarine wetlands, with much research carried out in Andalusia (notably Doñana), as well as other parts of the Mediterranean. Our key difference with other research groups is our focus on aquatic systems. Group members have been researching into aquatic birds, amphibians and reptiles for several decades. During the last 15 years we have broadened our research lines and now conduct quality research into aquatic invertebrates and plants, parasites and emergent diseases, and remote sensing of wetlands. We have strength in population dynamics, community and metacommunity ecology, restoration ecology, population genetics, biological invasions and ecotoxicology. Much of our research is focused on the diverse interactions between waterbirds, amphibians or aquatic reptiles and other organisms, and novel research for over a decade has made us world leaders on the passive dispersal of seeds and invertebrates by waterbirds.,

Islands have been considered as the best natural laboratories for the study of plant and animal evolution. Their evolutionary uniqueness and isolation make island dwellers prone to extinction in a scenario of climatic change and biodiversity crisis. Insular taxa form simplified communities, where ecological relationships and evolutionary processes can be studied more easily than on the continent. The Balearic Islands are particularly vulnerable to global change and human perturbations. Because of their reduced territory, their rich biodiversity (555 animal and 130 plant endemic taxa) is threatened by loss of habitats and introduction of alien species. The research group covers a broad expertise in taxonomic, biogeographic, evolutionary and ecological issues of insular biotas. The methodological approach is multidisciplinary, combining morphological, distributional, population and molecular data to improve our understanding and promote the conservation of insular unique biotas.,

The group pursues to advance the knowledge of the marine pelagic ecosystem, promote novel research and foster social awareness of the significance of protecting ocean health. Our main research focuses on studying the structure and dynamics of plankton, its response to environmental disturbances, and its role in the cycling of key chemical elements in the ocean. We investigate the response of plankton ecosystems to ocean warming, stratification, acidification, turbulence, atmospheric deposition, continental runoff and pollution, and explore solutions to abate anthropogenic impacts. In order to tackle these objectives, we use a wide array of laboratory techniques, innovative experimental and field approaches, time series monitoring, remote sensing data analysis, and computer model simulations. By integrating these approaches, methodologies and analytical tools, we aim to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ocean plankton ecosystem.,

His research focuses on the study of the effects of Global Change in high Pyrenean and Mediterranean mountain fluvial ecosystems, considering the possible actions of restoration and bioremediation for their mitigation, including also the impacts of the introduction of species invasive species (fish) towards the diversity and functioning of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in Pyrenean rivers and ponds. Part of this research is recorded in the changes associated with climate change and the possible evolution of habitat availability and the future distributions of both endemic species and communities and their functionality. My research has necessitated the long-term monitoring of some aquatic ecosystems in order to be able to differentiate the interannual variability of change trends over time in these ecosystems, as well as some emblematic or vulnerable species.

Our goal is to improve the conceptual integration of the different levels of complexity in explaining trait evolution and species diversification. We are pushing the boundaries of current evolutionary theory by examining the possible role of both genetic and non-genetic inheritance, the role of the environment as a phenotypic inductor via epigenetic regulation, and the possibility that such epigenetic changes may evolve under selection into accommodated genetic variation. One important characteristic of this research line is its interdisciplinary component, based on the integration of several approaches, mainly evolutionary ecology, population genetics, and theoretical ecology. This results in an eminently collaborative research. We dig into the histories of species, populations and communities using both traditional genetics and new omics tools. By incorporating and consolidating novel molecular techniques we seek to test ecological hypotheses, study host-parasite interactions, and identify functional polymorphisms in candidate genes to account for ecologically and evolutionarily divergent life history traits.,

Our group applies many different approaches within inland and estuarine wetlands, with much research carried out in Andalusia (notably Doñana), as well as other parts of the Mediterranean. Our key difference with other research groups is our focus on aquatic systems. Group members have been researching into aquatic birds, amphibians and reptiles for several decades. During the last 15 years we have broadened our research lines and now conduct quality research into aquatic invertebrates and plants, parasites and emergent diseases, and remote sensing of wetlands. We have strength in population dynamics, community and metacommunity ecology, restoration ecology, population genetics, biological invasions and ecotoxicology. Much of our research is focused on the diverse interactions between waterbirds, amphibians or aquatic reptiles and other organisms, and novel research for over a decade has made us world leaders on the passive dispersal of seeds and invertebrates by waterbirds.,

"Pilar Ríos defended her Doctoral Thesis on Antarctic sponges in 2007, obtaining the ""Cum Laude"" qualification and also an extraordinary doctorate award.
In recent years she has worked at the Spanish Institute of Oceanography on different projects, the objective of which is to contribute to the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity in the Spanish seas by identifying valuable spaces for the Natura 2000 Network, as well as in other areas of the world with Spanish fishing interests like Indian Ocean (Mozambique), SW Atlantic (Patagonia), NW Atlantic (Canada), Nord Sea (Hatton Bank), SE Atlantic (Namibia), Antarctica or Cantabrian Sea (Spain).
During her research career, until today, she has produced 47 scientific articles (Zootaxa, Zookeys, Frontiers, JMBA(UK), etc.) and is the co-author of 19 books or book chapters related to the marine environment, ecology, taxonomy, biodiversity or Vulnerable marine ecosystems.
She has worked in 16 research projects funded by public call and in 7 sectorial research projects of special relevance funded by companies and / or administrations, about the results of an investigation or with new content.
She was in charge or as member of a team for the preparation of 16 scientific reports for different government agencies. She has presented 117 scientific communications at conferences (99 international and 14 national). She carried out 10 research stays in 3 foreign centers and 1 Spanish.
She has participated in 18 marine research cruises on the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, SW (Patagonia, Argentina), NW (European coasts), SE (abyssal basins of the Cape, Angola and Guinea); Antarctica, Arctic and Indian Ocean (Mozambique).
She has taught 6 courses related to the marine environment and received 26.
Professor of interns at the Universities of Málaga and Alcalá.
She is a reviewer for the journals Polar Biology, Journal of Natural History, Zootaxa, JMBA and Zoologische Mededelingen, and editor of WoRMS (World Porifera Database).
Currently Senior Scientist in the Oceanographic Centre of Gijon (IEO-CSIC)
In the last five years, her lines of research have been directed to studies related to biodiversity, and to the characterization and conservation of benthic communities in Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs), both in the Cantabrian Sea and in the Arctic, Canada, Indian Ocean or Patagonia. A very special section of this line of work has been occupied by the structuring species associated with VMEs that present a fragile structure of biological origin, such as coral reefs and sponge grounds. They are the bioconstructor species that, due to their morphology and development, they create environments that can be used to host other species. The research effort carried out and in the coming years also aims to know and conserve the benthic communities that make up the VMEs, which is essential even to guarantee the sustainability of fishery resources.

The Global Change Research (GCR) group aims at understanding, forecasting and ultimately managing the risks posed by Global Change. The group emphasizes the interactions between all components of the Earth system, addressing impacts on biodiversity and biogeochemistry, as well as assessing the role ecosystems play in mitigation and adaptation to global change, both in marine and terrestrial systems. These objectives are addressed through multidisciplinary long-term monitoring, experiments, field observations, data mining and modelling. The marine research lines of the GCR group include (1) metabolism in seagrass meadows, modification of the carbon system by marine vegetation, ocean acidification and warming; (2) function of and services provided by marine ecosystems dominated by macrophyte; (3) coastal ecosystem responses to pressures and to the release of pressures, with particular interest in no linear responses; and (4) scientific support to marine ecosystem conservation polices. The terrestrial systems are studied mostly under the framework of network theory, assessing how different drivers of Global Change (specifically habitat loss, invasive species, agricultural intensification, and climate change) alter the ecological interactions between species, as well as their resilience. The main ongoing research lines encompass (1) the ecological complexity of small islands; (2) pollination ecology; (3) conservation of insect pollinators.,

understand the mechanisms that govern the interactions between the different constituents
of marine ecosystems, determine how natural processes and human activities influence the
structure and function of these ecosystems, and assess their stability and resilience to cope
with future changes. Current research focuses on (1) the coupling between ocean processes
and marine plankton dynamics (micro to mesoscale), (2) fine-scale microalgal dynamics (e.g. effects of turbulence, physical-biological interactions, Harmful Algal Blooms), (3) the ecology of communities dominated by marine macrophytes, their response to natural and
anthropogenic disturbances and their restoration, (4) the connectivity of marine populations,
(5) the factors influencing fish population dynamics and life history traits, (6) the protection
of marine living resources from the impact of fisheries, and (7) the translation of scientific
knowledge into management and awareness.,

Islands have been considered as the best natural laboratories for the study of plant and animal evolution. Their evolutionary uniqueness and isolation make island dwellers prone to extinction in a scenario of climatic change and biodiversity crisis. Insular taxa form simplified communities, where ecological relationships and evolutionary processes can be studied more easily than on the continent. The Balearic Islands are particularly vulnerable to global change and human perturbations. Because of their reduced territory, their rich biodiversity (555 animal and 130 plant endemic taxa) is threatened by loss of habitats and introduction of alien species. The research group covers a broad expertise in taxonomic, biogeographic, evolutionary and ecological issues of insular biotas. The methodological approach is multidisciplinary, combining morphological, distributional, population and molecular data to improve our understanding and promote the conservation of insular unique biotas.,

Since 1996 I have been focused in the study of lichenized fungi under different approaches: until 2003 I worked on ecophysiology. Since then and until now I have concentrated on species delimitation and cryptic species by the use of phylogenetic tools, intraspecific and interspecific molecular divergence, DNA sequences as "barcoding", and coalescence analysis.
