PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
Joaquín Ortego
CIENTÍFICO TITULAR (CSIC)
Joaquín is broadly interested in many aspects related with the study of genetic variability in natural populations. He uses different molecular and analytical tools to understand the factors determining genetic variation across space and time and address questions that can be mostly framed within the interconnected fields of population genetics and evolutionary biogeography.
STUDENTS
PHD STUDENT
Marina Trillo
PHD STUDENT
Marina’s PhD project aims to integrate genomic data, environmental niche modelling and phenotypic information to study of the drivers of speciation in different radiations of Mediterranean Orthoptera, including grasshoppers of genus Chorthippus and bush crickets of the genus Neocallicrania. She is also an amazing scientific illustrator. Co-supervised with Dr. Jorge Gutiérrez-Rodríguez.
TECHNICIAN
POSTDOC
PHD STUDENT
Raúl Sánchez
PHD STUDENT
Raúl’s PhD project focuses on using genomic data to understand the role waterbirds on the dispersal and patterns of genetic diversity and structure of two European wetland plants, the native Eleocharis palustris and the invasive Cotula coronopifolia (WATERZOO I+D project). Co-supervised with Dr. Andy J. Green.
JAE-INTRO STUDENT
Rosanna García
JAE-INTRO STUDENT
Rosanna is a JAE-INTRO research fellow at EBD-CSIC. Her research project focuses on conservation genomics of narrow-endemic alpine grasshoppers with extreme vulnerability to climate change. Specifically, she is studying the genus Peripodisma (Orthoptera: Acrididae) from the Balkan Peninsula, which encompasses three taxa of great conservation concern.
MSC STUDENT
Francesco Forte
MSC STUDENT
Francesco is a master student at Università degli Studi Roma Tre (Italy). His master project focuses on the application of genomic data and geometric morphometric analyses to study speciation in the genera Italopodisma and Italohippus, two complexes of grasshoppers endemic to the Italian Peninsula that include many taxa of great conservation concern.
