Daniel Ignacio Piñero Dalmau (born 8 December 1951) is a Mexican evolutionary biologist and professor at the Institute de Ecologia in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). [1][2] His main research interests lie in population genetics, ecology and molecular evolution. He has studied the evolutionary history of a diverse set of plants, animals and bacteria in Mexico, and is a pioneer in population genetics studies in Mexico.
Early life and education
Piñero was born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1951. He earned his Bachelor of Sciences degree in Biology in 1975 at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. [3]. After that, he started his first investigations on plant ecology and obtained a master's degree for his studies on the demography and reproduction of the tropical palm Astrocaryum mexicanum at the National Autonomous University of Mexico under the guidance of José Sarukhán.[4][5][6] He then obtained his Ph.D. in Genetics with an emphasis on Population Genetics and Evolution at the University of California, Davis under the supervision of Robert W. Allard.
Research and Career
Daniel Piñero took a position at the Instituto de Ecologia in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in 1979. He continued his population genetics studies on Astrocaryum mexicanum , and started studying other species such as beans [7][8][9], the Rhizobium genus [10][11] and the agave [12]. He also developed research line focused on understanding the evolutionary processes driving the genetic diversity patterns of Mexican Pines.Recently he has also started investigated the process of plant domestication in Mexican crops . He has directed more than 20 bachelor degree's thesis, 15 master's degree thesis and 20 Ph.D. thesis.[13][14]
Science communication
Piñero regularly publishes science communication articles.[15][16][17]. He is also the author of two books where he explains the fields of Genetics[18] and Evolution[19] for the general public.
Awards
Daniel Piñero received a recognition award for his contributions on Ecology from the Mexican Scientific Society of Ecology.
