Introduction
I am developing my thesis in the Ecology Department of Autonoma University of Madrid. My projet is focused on conservation of functional and phylogenetic diversity of vertebrates.

Protected areas (PAs) have been created with the purpose of preserving biodiversity, acting as refuges from anthropogenic pressures. Traditionally, PAs have been designed and managed to represent mainly taxonomic diversity, ignoring other diversity facets such as its functional and phylogenetic components. Yet, functional and phylogenetic diversity...
One of the main strategies to reduce the global loss of biodiversity has been the establishment of protected areas (PAs). High quality biodiversity knowledge is essential to successfully design PAs and PA networks, and to assess their conservation effectiveness. However, biodiversity knowledge is taxonomically and geographically biased. Even though...
Islands are biodiversity hotspots that host unique assemblages. However, a substantial proportion of island species are threatened and their long‐term survival is uncertain. Identifying and preserving vulnerable species has become a priority, but it is also essential to combine this information with other facets of biodiversity like functional dive...
Evolutionary history can explain species resemblance to a large extent. Thus, if closely related species share combinations of traits that modulate their response to environmental changes, then phylogeny could predict species sensitivity to novel stressors such as increased levels of deforestation. To test this hypothesis, we used 66,949 plots (25-...
Response of tree species (Ω values) to forest canopy cover measured at different landscape scales (concentric circles centred on the plots with radiuses of 1.6, 3.2 and 6.4 km-radius, respectively).
The bars and dots correspond to 95% CI of Ω values. The response of species was considered negative when the 95% CI of Ω completely laid below zero (re...
Fossil information and minimum and maximum age constraints used for the dating analysis.
Fossils were assigned to the most recent common ancestors (MRCA) of the listed taxa.

La degradación de hábitats es una de las principales amenazas para la biodiversidad. La reacción de cada especie a estos procesos parece estar íntimamente relacionada con sus características funcionales y de historia de vida. A pesar de que en los últimos años se han registrado una amplia variedad caracteres funcionales de las especies de muchos gr...
