Jose Luis Hórreo Escandón

PhD in Biology: University of Oviedo, year 2011.
After finishing my PhD, I continued my research at the National Museum of Natural Sciences of Spain (CSIC), the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), and the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (CSIC). Since 2019, I am placed at the IMIB Research Unit of Biodiversity (UO, CSIC, PA).

My field of research is Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics, and tries to answer the question: “How and why population genetics, evolution, climate change, and ecology, determine species and population characteristics, distributions, and dynamics?” In order to answer this question, I combine genetic, ecologic, taxonomic, evolutionary, and paleontological approaches in different kind of studies, those including:
• Population and conservation genetics
• Phylogenetics, phylogeography, and biogeography
• Species- and population- level consequences of climate change
• Short- and long- term population dynamics and evolution .
