My research program focuses on the study of evolutionary biology, adaptive traits and origin of species diversity by combining the use of molecular systematic and proteomic-base data as analytical tools. Over the past few years, I have made progress in unravelling the evolutionary history, biogeography and population genetics of a variety of vertebrate groups. The recent use of methodologies based on 2-DE, DIGE and mass spectrometry provided the identification of candidate protein biomarkers related to environmental changes and protein variation among populations of marine fishes. With multidisciplinary studies on the use of metagenomics (high throughput sequencing, microarrays and genotyping) and proteomics (differences in protein expression analysis) methodologies, we have gained an understanding of the forces that shape genetic structure in the wild and how such structure may influence adaptation.
