Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alejandro Sanchez-Gracia"
- Alejandro Sanchez-Gracia's recent research primarily focuses on the evolutionary genomics of invertebrates, particularly examining adaptive radiations and genetic diversity in endemic species, such as the spiders from the Canary Islands and the Xerces Blue butterfly.
- His studies employ advanced genomic techniques to explore chemoreception and its evolutionary significance across various taxa, revealing insights into the genetic architecture and evolutionary history of chemosensory gene families in gastropods and arthropods.
- Additionally, Sanchez-Gracia investigates the genetic backgrounds of extinct species, utilizing genomic data to understand ecological changes and evolutionary processes in insular environments, thereby contributing to conservation biology and the understanding of species decline, as seen with the extinct giant rat and invasive mosquito species.
