Juan J. Martínez
Bienvenidos/Welcome!! I am an evolutionary ecologist and population geneticist affiliated with the Instituto de Ecorregiones Andinas (Jujuy, Argentina). I am an active member of the Laboratorio de Ecología Evolutiva y Biogeografía. My primary research focus revolves around the study of phenotypic evolution in natural populations. Specifically, I am currently investigating the contemporary evolution of complex phenotypes and the respective roles played by various evolutionary forces, such as selection and genetic drift, in shaping short-term variation.
To achieve these research goals, I employ a multidisciplinary approach that combines population genetics, quantitative genetics, and the analysis of phenotypic traits. By integrating these different fields, I aim to unravel intricate eco-evolutionary dynamics underlying the observed patterns and processes (for more details, refer to the Research section).
