We explore the depths of deep-time geographic diversification dynamics, spanning an unprecedented time-frame of the last 540 million years. We invite you to delve deeper into our research lines, the projects we are engaged in, and our impactful results!
Research lines
Our research is characterized by the collaboration of diverse disciplines to advance in the understanding of life Earth´s evolution.
Biogeography
Earth dynamics
Paleontology
We explore the latitudinal gradient of species, the relationship between ecological specialization, evolutionary innovations, and species distribution, the impact of historical processes on the current distribution of species, and other wonders of biogeography.
Our research focus on the macro-scale aspects of Earth Dynamics. We aim to better understand global fenomena such as the geological evolution of continental configuration and climate throughout the Phanerozoic, in order to elucidate their consequential impacts on the biosphere.
Fossil data allow us to unravel the evolutionary history of species. We use big paleontological data to address fundamental questions in biogeography and ecology, to contextualize the present, and to anticipate potential future changes in terrestrial biota.
