I am interested in phylogenomics, gene flow, demography, hybridization and hybrid speciation. In the last years, I studied the evolution of fur seals and sea lions, focusing on South American species. Now, I am focused on understanding how environmental conditions acted on the phylogenetic splits of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) from the Malagasy Region (Madagascar and its satellites islands of Mascarenes) using a genomic approach.

Abstract
The Peruvian fur seal is an endangered pinniped (Vulnerable-VU, according to the IUCN red list of threatened species) recently proposed as a hybrid species that originated around 430 Kya from hybrid homoploid speciation after short periods of genomic introgression between the South American and the Galapagos fur seal. The secondary contact with one of the parental species, the Galapagos f…
