    General Description

    • Mineralogy, geochemistry and meteorites: Mineral studies of environmental origin, biogenic and historical specimens of meteorites and minerals studied in the MNCN analytical facilities, such as ESEM-EDS-WDS-BS-CL; CLSM; Raman-PL, XRD, XRF, DTA-TG , PSD, AA, MO, MS, G, IR, CT-Scan. Likewise, new analytical routines and patterns are developed to study Raman spectra, Photoluminescence and Cathodoluminescence that allow the mineralogical characterization of geogenic materials. We study speciation and geochemical transformations of metals in natural and antropogenic environments. We focus on the study of sorption reactions and the formation of new minerals that result in the natural or assisted attenuation of contaminant in soils and sediments. For this purpose we use models to describe sorption and transport of toxic elements, chemical extraction methods and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy methods to study the molecular-scale retention phenomena and speciation of metals and metalloids in the environment.
    • Geoenvironmental records of Global Change and Georisks: The group’s research focuses on Earth surface changes and the underlying geological processes with the aim of anticipating and adapting to the resulting socio-economic impacts. The impacts of climate variability, geological processes, and the anthropic effects on the territory (e.g. Sea level, magnitude and frequency of floods, erosion and river fluvial motion of sediments, carbon cycle, natural and induced seismicity) are studied at different spatial (local, regional, continental, global) and temporal (daily, yearly, secular, millennial) scales. Studies on the genesis, availability, and distribution of natural resources are as well carried out. This knowledge is applied in the prevention and mitigation of natural risks, especially in what relates to earthquake risk reduction and the occurrence of extreme events and expected impacts
    • Paleoanthropology: The aim of the paleoanthropology group is the analysis of human evolution and development, in their different levels of organization, based on the analysis of fossil remains. The main objectives are specially focused on the morphological evolution, histological organization of hard tissues and behavioural evolution. As remarkable facilities, the group has a fully functional 3D Morphometrics Lab and Experimental Taphonomy Lab.
    • Paleobiology of Cenozoic Vertebrates: The research of the group focuses on the study of the Paleontological Record of continental vertebrates, with special emphasis on the description of the patterns and the analysis of the processes involved in the evolution of mammals and Cenozoic paleoenvironments, integrating different methodological approaches and scientific disciplines. This research is characterized by its multidisciplinary approach and the development of new techniques and methodologies applied to the study of fossils and past environments. In addition, the group has a commitment with the Paleontological Heritage developing an intense activity in this field, helping to establish the scientific basis for the concept of Paleontological Heritage and cooperates with the different Autonomous Communities on the recovery of paleontological remains and on aspects related with its conservation.
    • Ecology of freshwater fish populations and communities: Our research focuses on elucidating the factors and mechanisms underlying the life histories and dynamics of populations and communities of freshwater fishes across scales of space and time essentially in streams and rivers . Futher, attempts to highlight the way in which the populations are regulated in both densities and production dynamics in contrasting habitats.
    • Reproductive Ecology and Biology Group: Our group was established in January 2002. We are interested in the origin and conservation of biological diversity. We study the evolution of reproductive strategies and, in particular, the role of post-copulatory sexual selection (sperm competition and cryptic female choice) on male reproductive success. We are interested in how sperm competition has favoured adaptations from the organismal to the molecular level, focusing on mammals and, in particular, on various rodent lineages. Work on biodiversity conservation concentrates on two areas: the effects of inbreeding upon male reproduction in threatened species and development of reproductive biotechnologies for endangered species to facilitate the exchange of genes between populations, both captive and natural.
    • Ecology and conservation of birds: Our research fields are behavioural ecology and conservation biology, and our main current interests are the behavioural and ecological adaptations of strong sexual selection, the evolution of sex ratio, and sexual segregation in species with extreme sexual size dimorphism. We are also interested in knowing the effects of human-induced landscape changes on the behaviour and population dynamics of wild species. Recently, we have started a new research line on self-medication in birds. Working mostly with birds, our research has been typically based on long-term monitoring of behavioural patterns and life histories of marked individuals. By linking individual behaviour with population ecology, our aim was to find answers to fundamental questions in behavioural ecology through a deep knowledge of the species and systems studied, that could also later be applied to their conservation.
    • Animal Functional Ecology: We are a researchers’ group united by the same fascination, the study of animal ecology. We combine evolutionary ecology approach to the study of the physiological mechanisms that are coming into the base of the adaptations we studied. This multidisciplinary perspective (behavioural ecology, physiology and genetics) allows us to more inclusive understanding of evolutionary processes, and also allows us to have physiological tools with which we can measure the adequacy of the organisms into the environment.
    • History and Documentation of the Natural Science: The group "History and documentation of Natural Sciences" (HISTORNAT) focuses on the analysis of the history of Natural Sciences in our country and its impact on society. This is an inexcusable objective in an institution like the National Museum of Natural Sciences, with a long and significant scientific career, center and motor in our country of both biological and geological disciplines since its foundation in 1771, and in which it has always been present the study of the history of science. Our group, through multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research, recognizes the interest that biology knowledge has for investigation, as well as data from heritage documents, scientific collections and scientific dissemination activities adressed to both general and specialized public.
    • Ecosystem Biogeochemistry: This group studies relationships between organisms and their environment, emphasizing effects that global change trigger on biogeochemical cycles, their dynamics and structure of inland ecosystems.
    • Microbial ecology and geomicrobiology of lithic substrate (ECOGEO): ECOGEO completes an integrated and multidisciplinary research of the microbiota colonizing the lithic substrate, particularly from poliextreme environments. Our studies involve not only the analysis of diversity but also microhabitat physical-chemical and geochemical characterization, substrate bioreceptivity, and the dynamics of lithic microbial ecosystems. Microscopy and molecular biology are combined for genetic and ultra-structural characterization of diversity and its organization of their components. Micro-analytical strategies reveal microorganism-mineral relationships and the presence of biomarkers and microbial fossils. The study of microbial ecosystems in monumental stones allows us to diagnose biodeterioration processes, as well as a possible control. Our studies, with multiple international connections, contribute to determine the ecological role of lithic ecosystems and participation in biogeochemical cycles, as well as their capacity of response to global change
    • Biogeography and Global Change: The main research lines are: (1) The effects of global change (i.e., temperature, nitrogen and aridity increase) on terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the Mediterranean region. (2) The interaction among different global change drivers (e.g. land use, climate, biotic factors) on key species and communities. (3) Scientific support for conservation, restoration and reforestation that have a solid ecological base and that explicitly contemplate the impact of climate, land use and community changes. (4) Long-term follow-up of natural reference systems of protected natural reserves and of recovered or reforested ecosystems. Ongoing research is giving rise to emerging research lines that will in turn define future activities. The knowledge we hope to acquire should be transferable to end users such as companies, technical and management bodies of natural reserves and resources.
    • Organic Matter in Soils and Sediments (MOSS): MOSS group represents an international reference laboratory in Organic Geochemistry and the first group in Spain in studying Humus Chemistry. The group have contributed decisively to the advance of knowledge in the molecular characterization of humic substances present in soils, water and sediments, as well as in fossil resources (peat, coals, kerogens, etc.) and residues with use in agriculture (composts, fertilizer humates, biochar, etc.). The group maintains an applied multidisciplinar R+D+I strategy, frequent and stable collaborations with national and international research groups.
    • Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology Research Group: We aim to discover, inventory and classify biodiversity and to understand the evolutionary processes underlying animal diversification. We develop strategies and best practices for the inventory, discovery and description of biodiversity, using state-of-the-art phenotypic, genetic data and bioinformatics approaches. We apply homology-based classification techniques based on morphological, molecular and behavioral data, and develop theoretical foundations for taxonomic inference. To investigate the evolutionary process of diversification we use molecular phylogenetics, phylogeography and population genetics, as well as NGS-based genomic data, to address questions pertaining to evolutionary biology, ecology and systematics. We are interested in the relative roles of historical and ecological factors in promoting population structuring, speciation, adaptation, and the evolution of life-history traits in a broad range of vertebrate and invertebrate animals at a global scale.
    • Evolutionary patterns and processes in aquatic organisms: Our research group investigates the evolutionary mechanisms shaping aquatic ecosystems, both marine and freshwater, and aims at characterizing their biodiversity. We investigate the evolutionary history of aquatic systems, and the different processes generating biodiversity. We use taxonomical, morphological, ecological, behavioral and genetic data to understand the past and future evolutionary trajectories of the aquatic systems. We are particularly interested in the future perspectives.
    • Arthropod evolution and diversity: To identify evolutionary processes related to the origin of Biodiversity, focussed on processes of species formation, hybridization and evolutionary radiations, through diverse geographic scales, in taxononomically complex Arthropds. The formation of cryptic species is a widespread phenomenon in nature, which has a real incidence on animal biodiversity estimates. It has been proposed that the formation of cryptic species is directly related with the existence of divergent phylogeographic (mitochondrial) lineages, and dependent on the time elapsed since the lineages diverged. There are situations in which the probability of formation of cryptic species seems to be increased, independently of speciation mode or phylogeographic structure, These cases correspond to extreme adaptation and loss of morphological characters (as it is the case of subterranean environments or in parasitic taxa) or to the existence of paedomorphosis as a consequence of heterochronic processes.

                              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,

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.,

                                  We perform multidisciplinary research aiming at providing the scientific knowledge needed for the conservation of biodiversity in all its forms. Our research is oriented towards threatened ecosystems, communities, species and populations. We have no a priori taxonomic or regional bias. 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. We work in cooperation with other researchers both from CSIC and national and international Universities and research institutions.,

                                    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 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.,

                                                    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.,

                                                      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,

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. ,

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 research is oriented towards threatened ecosystems, communities, species and populations. We have no a priori taxonomic or regional bias. 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. We work in cooperation with other researchers both from CSIC and national and international Universities and research institutions.,

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 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.,

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.,

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.,

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 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.,

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.,
