Research lines

  • Analysis of the chromosomal changes that accompany speciation in different families of bivalves and study the phenomena of hybridization between mussel species and between clam species
  • Application of concepts and models of information theory to the study of 1) Sexual and natural selection 2) Detection of evolutionary genomic patterns in viruses
  • Development of models to understand the genetic basis of quantitative traits and the applications of genetics to the conservation of biodiversity
  • Development of new statistics to estimate sexual selection and sexual isolation effects
  • Evolutionary molecular genetics
  • Genetic conservation of salmonids
  • Hybridization and reproductive isolation mechanisms in marine organisms
  • Methods for multiple testing correction: FWER, FDR and permutation-based methods.
  • Speciation and adaptation among intertidal gastropods, including the genera Littorina and Nucella
