Contracted researcher under a predoctoral grant from the Junta de Andalucía. The contract is part of the 2024 Predoctoral Fellowships, funded by the Junta de Andalucía/CUII and the European Social Fund Plus (FSE+). My research work is framed within the research activities carried out at Departament of Conservation Biology and Global Change, within FiguerolaLab team, with a focus on the taxonomy, ecology, phylogeny, and vectorial role of scarcely studied hematophagous dipterans — Phlebotomus and Leptoconops — of medical and veterinary relevance due to their role in pathogen transmission.
