My main research interest is the study of molecular phylogenetics and diversity in
different Arthropoda Pancrustacea and Mollusca, with special regard to the study of genome evolution and of reproductive strategies.
The main research lines, therefore, are:
- Molecular phylogentics,
systematics and reproductive biology of arthropods (Insecta, particularly
Isoptera: Kalotermitidae and Rhinotermitidae; Crustacea,
Branchiopoda: Choncostraca and Notostraca).
- Genome evolution in arthropods and mollusks, with special emphasis on transposable elements
