Since 2013, the Biogeography Research Laboratory has been conducting research on the evolutionary history, ecology, distribution and conservation of species using methods related to field studies, natural history museum collections, molecular biology methods, and geographic information systems. With the research we carry out, we obtain outputs for the protection of biodiversity in Europe, the Middle East, North America and Africa.
