PeerJ Editor & Author

Summary

Full Professor (Department of Botany and Plant Physiology, Universidad de Málaga, Spain) from 2008. My PhD thesis (1993) was focused on deep-water like-kelp populations at the Strait of Gibraltar. Later, I focused on ecophysiology and taxonomy of seaweeds from southern Iberian Peninsula. In 2002, I started a new research line focused on experimental evolution of photosynthetic microorganisms. I have had stays in several institutions in France (Laboratoire Arago, Université Paris VI), Sweden (Upssala Universitet), England (Robert Hill Institute, University of Sheffield), Germany (Alfred Wegener Institute für Polar und Meeresforschung), Japan (Kobe University Research Center for Inland Seas) and Australia (Australian Institute for Marine Science), and two expeditions to Antarctica.

Full Professor in Botany

Universidad de Málaga

June 1990

Plant Biology (Botany)

Teaching activity: Botany (Bachelor Degree in Envirnmental Sciences), Botany I and Botany II (Bachelor Degree in Biology), Evolutionary Theory, Plant Evolution and Experimental Evolution (Master Degree in Evolutionary Biology). Research activity: My present research line is focused on the adaptation of cyanobacteria and microalgae to sudden environmental changes as well as to extreme natural environments. For this aim, I am studying if the adaptive mechanisms allowing the survival of phytoplankton to extreme conditions could be explained as an acclimation process or, alternatively, by the selection of genetic variants. As second interest, I continue with the study of biodiversity of seaweeds inhabiting Andalusia (S. Spain) shores. At the preset, Dean of the Faculty of Science from the Universidad de Málaga from June 2016.
