Red de Diversidad Biológica del Occidente Mexicano
I am a conservation geneticist interested in understanding how landscape changes due to human activities affect species dispersal, gene flow, and local adaptation at multiple spatial scales, with a particular interest in vulnerable plant and animal populations.
To address these research topics I aim to combine genetic, ecological, and spatial data to better inform conservation and management strategies.
Research Interest
Population Genetics and Genomics
​
-
Relationship between genetic diversity and population size.
-
Inbreeding and bottleneck effects.
-
Population genetic structure.
-
Neutral and adaptive (immunogenetic) genetic variations.
​
Landscape Genetics &
Local Adaptation
​
-
​Link between gene flow and landscape structure (functional connectivity).
-
Spatial scales of gene flow.
-
Patterns of local adaptation in presence of gene flow.
Conservation Biology
​
-
Conservation value of small and isolated populations.
-
Landscape connectivity in fragmented landscapes.
-
Habitat fragmentation and climate change on species responses.
