GERARD TALAVERA

Gerard Talavera, PhD

I am an evolutionary biologist interested on the biodiversity of the insects. I combine phylogenetics, genomics, ecology and fieldwork to study questions ranging from macroevolution and macroecology to historical biogeography, spatial distributions, speciation, species limits and systematics. I develop my research at the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Harvard University (N. Pierce lab), funded by a Marie Curie Fellowship. Also I am associated to the Institut de Biologia Evolutiva (CSIC-UPF) in Barcelona (R. Vila lab) and to the department of Entomology at St. Petersburg State University (V. Lukhtanov lab).
