Evolution and diversification of the geckos of the Arabian Peninsula and Socotra Archipelago, compared to other mainland-island systems

Garcia Porta, Joan (Date of defense: 10-10-2014)
A major challenge in evolutionary biology is understanding the main drivers that underlie morphological and species diversity. Ecological opportunity—access to new or previously inaccessible niches—has been identified as ...
Systematics, biogeography and evolution of selected widespread reptile genera from the arid areas of North Africa and Arabia

Metallinou, Margarita (Date of defense: 17-07-2014)
The arid areas of North Africa and Arabia cover a surface of more than 13 million square kilometers and are characterized by their extreme temperatures, diversity of desert habitats and well-adapted flora and fauna. The ...
Evolutionary history of two Iberian Soricomorpha: genomics, phyligeography and dispersal patterns = Historia evolutiva de dos soricomorfos ibéricos genómica, filogeografía y patrones de dispersión

Querejeta Coma, Marina (Date of defense: 21-07-2017)
The study of intraspecific diversity is essential in ecology and evolution as they reveal fine-scale patterns and it is crucial in conservation planning. The main aim of this thesis is to study the evolutionary history of ...
