Phylogeography and Phylogeny based on Molecular data
This course is for students that want to learn the analysis of molecular sequences and genotype
frequencies data at several levels: clades, species or populations. We will address different
questions regarding the evolutionary relationships among data presented, as well as the
demographic history of the populations at different scales.
The objectives of the course are: a) to learn how to prepare molecular data for (b) to be able to
perform some basic phylogenetic analysis, c) to learn some historical demographic analyses and d)
to learn how to interpret the results obtained and how to present the data for a publication.
Hours: 40h
Dates: 08-12/August/2015

Important Note: Citizens of the most countries in the world need a visa to
visit the country. You have to arrange your visa on your own, but we offer to obtain your visa if it is
needed. International flights to Kish Island are quite expensive; the option we suggest is to fly to
Tehran and take another flight to Kish Island from there. If you are interested, contact us as soon as
possible at [email protected].
Speakers:
-Mario Garcia Paris. PhD. National Museum of Natural Sciences, Madrid,
Spain. [email protected]
PhD obtained at the University Complutense of Madrid (UCM, Spain), on
the evolutionary history of midwife toads (Amphibia). Postdoctoral
researcher at the University of California at Berkeley (USA) working on
Systematics and Phylogeny of tropical salamanders (Amphibia). Current
work, as a permanent researcher at “Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales” (MNCN-CSIC), centred
on phylogeography and phylogeny of insects, and especially on the evolution of complex
morphological structures. Author of more than 150 papers (70 indexed in JCR journals), including
Evolution, Molecular Ecology, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Proceedings of the Royal
Society... (see profile at http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=khsdwwEAAAAJ&hl=en) his main
interest is the field observation of the consequences of evolutionary processes.
-Elena Guacimara González. PhD. National Museum of Natural Sciences,
Madrid, Spain. [email protected]
My research program focuses on the study of evolutionary biology,
adaptive traits, and origin of species diversity by combining the use of
molecular systematic and proteomic-base data as analytical tools. Over
the past few years, I have made progress in unravelling the evolutionary
history, biogeography, and population genetics of a variety of vertebrate groups (specially marine
fishes). Results of my research have been published in more than 30 peer-review journals, one book
chapter, and one patent.
-Diushi Keri Corona Santiago. MSc. National Museum of Natural
Sciences, Madrid, Spain. [email protected]
Biologist degree obtained of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás
(UMSNH, Mexico) in 2010. In 2013, Diushi gets two M. Sc. degrees of the
UMSNH and of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM, Spain) in
Biological Sciences and Evolutionary Biology, respectively. His studies are focused in evolutionary
biology and molecular evolution, population genetics, conservation biology, systematics and
bioinformatics. Currently in his PhD work try to explain the evolution of allopolyploid species of
Iberian Peninsula to infer in general process for biodiversity origin in special of vertebrates.
-Hamid Reza Ghanavi. MSc. National Museum of Natural Sciences,
Madrid, Spain. [email protected]
Graduated in Biology in 2013 from the Complutense University of Madrid
(UCM, Spain), I started at the National Museum of Natural Sciences,
under the supervision of Professor Doadrio to work on my M.Sc. in
Evolutionary Biology which I accomplished in 2014 (UCM, Spain). My interests include evolutionary
biology, molecular systematics, bioinformatics, anthropology and population genetics among others.
My PhD study is focused on the evolutionary history of freshwater species of Western Asia, Europe
and Northern Africa.
