Raquel Divieso, a PhD student from the Universidade Federal do Paraná, is joining us for a 6 month stay at MNCN. Raquel has worked with ants, but she is doing her PhD on macroecological and macroevolutionary patterns of mammals, under the supervision of Marcio R. Pie, and she’ll work here on the correlates of phylogenetic and spatial patterns of rarity.

You can follow Raquel at twitter, and her ORCID.

About The Author

Joaquín Hortal

I am a biogeographer with broad interests in macroecology, community ecology, island biogeography, insect ecology, evolution, and biodiversity research. My main research aim is to determine why biodiversity – and in particular community structure – is geographically distributed the way it is, and to identify the processes that domain the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological assemblages. I work as Scientific Researcher at the Department of Biogeography and Global Change of the Natural History Museum in Madrid (MNCN), a research institute of the Spanish Scientific Council (CSIC). I am also External Professor at the Departamento de Ecologia of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) in Brazil, and Associate Researcher of the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes (cE3c) of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon in Portugal.
