FUNDING

How did island environments shape the evolution of extinct lagomorphs?

This research line combines fossils, anatomy, morphometrics, MicroCT, stable isotopes, and bone histology to reconstruct the biology and evolutionary history of insular lagomorphs.

Funded by
Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades & Agencia Estatal de Investigación (RYC2023-045129-I)
European Commission (HU-TAF-1206)

How did past climate changes affect mammalian evolution?

This research line investigates the biological responses of extinct lagomorphs to environmental changes using morphological, dietary and life history proxies.

Funded by
Xunta de Galicia (ED481B 2018/046 and ED481D-2022-013)
European Comission (101150677-REvoBBIT and AF-TAF-TA4-09)

What were the ecosystems of Galicia like 30 million years ago?

This research line reconstruts the biodiversity and environments of the Oligocene-Miocene through the taxonomical and paleoenvironmental study of fossil vertebrates and plants.
