Dr. Matias C. Baranzelli from Argentina, travelled to the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico as a PAGES-IAI International Mobility Research Fellow, from 18 May–19 August 2022. He studied the response to climate change over the last three million years on flowering plants, mammals, birds and amphibians, considering three levels of biodiversity: genetic diversity, species richness, and phylogenetic diversity. This is an integrating and novel approach to decipher the role of past climate change on current patterns of biodiversity.
