THE R2C2 LAB
Márcio Coelho
Evandro Lopes
Phylogeography and phylogeny of European gorgoniids (Gorgoniidae): genera Eunicella and Leptogorgia. Paper in prep.
Márcio is doing his PhD at Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology & Behavior, University at Buffalo NY.
Genetic structure of Brachidontes puniceus populations in Cape Verde archipelago shows signature of expansion during the last glacial maximum. PDF
Evandro did his MSc at UALG and is currently working in Cape Verde as technician and TA.
Miguel Baltazar-Soares
Phylogeography and demographic history of Atherina presbyter (Pisces: Atherinidae) in the North-eastern Atlantic based on mitochondrial DNA. PDF
After getting his PhD with the group for Evolutionary Ecology for Marine Fishes with Prof. Dr. Thorsten Reusch at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at Kiel University (IFM-Geomar) he is now heading to the UK with a Marie-Curie fellowship.
Elena González
Cláudia Patrão
Gonçalo Silva
John Horne
Elena spent a few months in my lab during 2013 funded by CSIC.
Regina is interested in integrating paleoceanographic, phylogeographic, and molecular approaches to infer evolutionary patterns.
John did his first post-doc with us.
After his two-year stay he moved closer to home, to Halifax, Canada, where he is doing very well.
Cláudia has finished her PhD in 2014.
She now works in the industry.
Regina L. Cunha
Rita Castilho
My research is principally question-driven, instead of model driven and I am interested primarily in understanding evolutionary principles. Therefore I am not confined to a particular type of organism, habitat or region.
