Polymath ecologist whose research and textbooks integrating ecology and evolution have inspired generations of students.

The presence of two or more copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. The Amazonian tr...

El investigador del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Borja Milá, analiza los retos a los que se enfrentan las poblaciones de avifauna. Hablamos con él durante el Congreso Español de Ornitología c...

The genomes of Asgard archaea, the closest prokaryotic relatives to eukaryotes, are larger than those of other archaea and contain multiple genes seemingly acquired from bacteria. Here, Manzano-Morales and Gabaldón quantify gene duplication, loss, and transfer events in Asgard genomes, showing that gene duplications, rather than horizontal gene transfers, are the primary drivers behind the increased genome sizes.

Una gran investigación muestra cómo la organización física del ADN controla la actividad de los genes y moldea la identidad de las células

Phylogenomic reconstruction of the proteome of the last eukaryotic common ancestor sheds light on the origin of eukaryotes, indicating an important role of horizontal transfer of genes from diverse bacterial and viral donors.
