About

In my research I explore the effect of geological history, environmental variation, and anthropogenic activities over diversity and genetic structure of animal and plant populations of Baja California peninsula. I combine fieldwork, molecular data, and GIS analysis to address questions about ecology and evolution. Currently, I have projects about phylogeography of yucca and yucca-moth, bat population genetics, and genetic diversity of crustacean from vernal pools of Baja California.
