My broad research interests are population genetics and evolutionary biology of fishes. Actually, I am studying the genetic bases of convergent evolution in adaptive traits (e.g. "hypertrohied lips") in cichlids. I am also investigating about population genomic differentiation and colonization pathways in African cichlids. I have recently moved to Spain where I am starting new research lines focusing on adaptive and conservation genomics in commercially exploited fishes.
