Areas of expertise
I am interested in the evolution of plant reproductive systems from asexual reproduction to sophisticated floral polymorphisms, including the role of pollinators. To unravel the evolutionary drivers and consequences of reproductive systems, I explore their patterns of variation at intra and interspecific (closest relatives) levels. In this line, my study systems are or have been the genera Narcissus, Mimulus and Linum. In parallel, I am starting a second research line studying the environmental and historical drivers of plant diversification and community assembly in Mediterranean mountain ecosystems. In the midterm, my aim is to help in the understanding of how reproductive traits and pollinators promote biodiversity in Mediterranean ecosystems. I use multidisciplinary approaches that include experiments, field data and lab work.
