Study of the ecology and conservation of marine benthic communities under climate change scenario.

Taxonomy, systematics and evolutionary biology of the Pentatomidae family

We are interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying genomic evolution and adaptation, from individual genes and gene families in the arthropoda group using NGS data

The behavior is one of the mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt to environmental changes or new environments. This situation can lead to new selective pressures to which organisms can evolve. This interaction ecology, behavior and selection form the guideline of the group. The study methodology comes from different disciplines such as behavior, ecology, morphology, phylogeny and genetics. Some of the studies have an impact on current problems of biodiversity conservation, such as those caused by invasive species by habitat fragmentation by urban environments, or by ecotourism and hunting activity.

Conservation of biodiversity - Ecology of communities - Limnology / Biology of continental water organisms Taxonomy and distribution of fish fauna. Biology of fish: age, growth and reproductive biology of freshwater fish. Fish Ecology: communities, trophic ecology, production, selection and microhabitat use, migration and activity, intra-and interspecific relationships, invasive species.bManagement and conservation of inland aquatic fauna: diagnosis and environmental assessment, biotic indicators, fish management, environmental flows, environmental restoration, management of biological invasions, sustainable fisheries management.

Systematics, taxonomy, fauna, ecology, biogeography, ultrastructure and ecotoxicology of helminths (trematodes, cestodes, nematodes, Acanthocephala) parasites of vertebrates. Vertebrate parasites as bioindicators of heavy metal pollution. Ultrastructure of reproduction and embryonic development in parasitic flatworms
