Use of epigenetics and transcriptomic tools to unravel mechanisms of heavy metal accumulation and tolerance in bryophytes
We use genomics to study the ecology and evolution of species in the genus Canis
Project Summary We are using genomic approaches to study the history and evolutionary relationships among the species of a poorly known genus of Neotropical frogs in the absence of a reference genome.

The evolution and great diversity of genome size has been of long-standing interest to biologists, but has seldom been investigated on a broad phylogenetic scale. Here we present a comparative quantitative analysis of factors shaping genome size …
Allee effects reduce the viability of small populations in many different ways, which act synergistically to lead populations towards extinction vortexes. The Sierra Morena wolf population, isolated in the south of the Iberian Peninsula and composed …
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a very valuable resource to understand the evolutionary history of poorly known species. However, in organisms with large genomes, as most amphibians, WGS is still excessively challenging and transcriptome sequencing …
