Working Group 2 of the G-BiKE COST Action successfully placed it's major analysis in the top journal in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology.  The paper, PB. Pearman, Olivier Broennimann, and 50 co-authors  Monitoring of species’ genetic diversity in Europe varies greatly and overlooks potential climate change impacts appeared on 15 January 2024 in Nature Ecology...

My team of researchers from the University of Malaga and I were awarded funding by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación to conduct a four-year project on adaptation of plants to serpentine soil and climatic variation, titled "Elucidating relationships of adaptation to extreme soils and climate with RAD sequencing".  The award has the identifier PID2020-118028GB-I00 and the total...

As of the end of July, 2020, the second round of construction in the María Goyri building is nearing completion. The work in the Molecular Ecology and Evolution laboratory included installation of a partitiion to separate it from the neighboring lab in which very different activities under another group have been planned.  Besides the partition, there were relatively few changes, but they...

I will be able to establish a lab in the María Goyri research building for doing molecular work associated with questions in evolution, evolutionary ecology, population biology and genomics, molecuar systematics and phylogeography.  I encourage students who potentially have interests in these areas to contact me regarding finding support for your work.

We received approval of a proposal to the Basque Government to form a Research Group with a focus on Terrestrial Plant Diversity. With the approval of this group, I can now support applications for doctoral research, to be sponsored by the University of the Basque Country and the Basque Government Proposed Research: Evolutionary Ecology   The Basque Government approved our proposal for...
