PhD in Evolutionary Biology

My research focuses on mammal phylogeography, taxonomy and evolution through genetics/genomics, museum specimens and field studies.

​After I graduated at the Univ. of Sevilla (2010), I did a Master in Biodiversity and Conservation Biology at the Univ. Pablo de Olavide (2011) , where I started to study population genetics in nectarivorous yeast in the Herrera Lab. Then, I got a FPI grant to do my doctorate in the biodiversity of Sundaland, a world hotspot in Southeast Asia. During my thesis in the CONSEVOL group at the Doñana Biological Station under the advisorship of Jennifer Leonard (2011-2017), I have studied phylogeographic patterns of rats endemic to Sundaland to better understand the drivers of diversification in this region.

My lab methods:
  • Preparation of amplicon libraries for HTS.
  • Degraded DNA samples from historical specimens.
  • Preparation of shotgun libraries and in-solution enrichment protocols.

Bioinformatics:
  • Processing genomic data (cutadapt, samtools, bwa, vcf, freebayes, GATK...)
  • UNIX, R, SQL
  • Phylogenetic reconstructions (RAxML, BEAST), species trees *BEAST
  • Population genetics
