Lucía DeSoto has been recently granted with a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to carry out TreEsilience project. TreEsilience aims using tree rings to investigate the role of local adaptation in determining intraspecific variation in tree resilience to drought.

We have met to think about evoflor new paths, specifically to address new ways of increasing the collaboration between evoflor members and how to interact even better. Read more

Este proyecto financiado por el Programa Iberoamericano de Ciencia y Tecnología para el Desarrollo (CYTED) y coordinado por el Profesor Rodrigo Medel (Universidad de Chile) aborda la gestión de las áreas naturales protegidas (ANPs en adelante) desde el dominio de las interacciones interespecíficas planta-animal.

My research program has been focussed on the study of species interaction and distribution. Insects, mainly beetles and butterflies, are my primary groups through my research. In particular, I study antagonisms interaction between plant and insect herbivores, above- and belowground interaction, and in more recently I focus on multitrophic interaction and the complexity of the food web. I seek to understand the ecological factors that determine the coexistence of species and the structure and function of the food web. My research is also focused on the effect of climate change on species distribution and diversity, and its effect on insect-plant interaction.
We present in this paper a molecular phylogeny of the genus Moricandia (Brassicaceae). We have found that a Spanish population previously ascribed to Rytidocarpus moricandioides is indeed a Moricandia species, and we propose to name it as M. rytidocarpoides sp. nov. In addition, M. foleyi appeared outside the Moricandia lineage but within the genus Eruca. Therefore, M. foleyi should be excluded from the genus Moricandia and be ascribed to the genus Eruca.
