Biodiversity Studies Group (GEBIO)

Conducts research on the classification of organisms, their evolutionary relationships, and the historical, ecological, and geographical processes that explain patterns of biodiversity distribution.

Studies the genetic variation and evolutionary history of populations and species to understand the historical and environmental processes that have shaped their geographic distribution, differentiation, and diversity.

Investigates the structure, composition, dynamics, and interactions of terrestrial populations and communities, analyzing the ecological and environmental factors that determine the distribution and maintenance of biodiversity at local and regional scales.

Studies how the environment and evolution (eco-evo-devo) shape the acquisition, maintenance, and decline of biological form from fertilization to senescence. This research line uses comparative anatomy as one of its key tools to analyze and compare structural variations, homologies, and morphological trajectories among different lineages throughout their life cycle.

Research on plant diversity, taxonomy, ecology, and conservation.

Research on continental aquatic ecosystems and their biodiversity.

Research on the diversity, ecology, taxonomy, and conservation of fauna.

Research on the taxonomy, ecology, and distribution of myxomycetes.
