Introduction
I'm mainly interested in plants systematics and taxonomy, with special focus on monocotyledons and the genus Carex.
I'm currently working on my PhD about the Neotropical group Carex sect. Fecundae at Universidad de León (Spain). I study the taxonomy of this group using morphological and molecular tools.

Three new species of Carex sect. Fecundae (Cyperaceae) are described from Central America. Carex orothanatica from Costa Rica, Carex siguanabae occurring in El Salvador and Honduras, and Carex via-aquae from Costa Rica and Panama. The three new species are compared with relatives. In addition, two related names, Carex lehmanniana Boott, and C. lehm...
Thanks to a wide morphologic study of material of Carex sect. Fecundae, we found out three new unnoticed species up to date from Central America. We present them here with high resolution photos that shows the main differences between them and their closest relatives.
On this poster I presented some of the early results on the morphological and molecular study of Carex sect. Fecundae. The main objective of this work is to establish the taxonomic limits of the species of the section.
Una gran variedad de tareas cooperativas y de aprendizaje activo son parte de las actividades formativas de las asignaturas en las que estamos involucrados los profesores del Grupo de Innovación Docente para la Adquisición de Competencias en Botánica Sistemática y Conservación (GID ACBoSCo). Cada actividad se organiza y construye para incentivar a...
Estudiar la toxonomía de cualquier grupo animal requiere de conocimientos específicos del grupo taxonómico en cuestión. En este caso, se expone como hemos adquirido las competencias suficientes como para empezar a estudiar la taxonomía de los áfidos (Aphididae), iniciándonos con la identificación y el estudio morfométrico de esta familia de Hemípte...
