My research falls within the area of evolutionary biology and it is mainly focused in understanding the mechanisms that originate and maintain diversity at multiple levels. My research interests fall within three main research areas: 1) phylogenomics, phylogeography and trait evolution, 2) population genetics and biodiversity, and 3) the evolution of phenotypic plasticity on traits involved in adaptation to different pollinators and contrasting habitat types. I worked on different organisms, including plants, fungal species, and insects. My current research is focused on understanding the distribution of genetic diversity of forest species (not only trees), the evolutionary mechanisms that shaped their current distribution and the application of genomic tools in their conservation and in tree breeding programs.
