Dr. Isabel Mateu Andrés, Leading investigator. Full university teacher, appointed to the Dept. of Botany at the University of Valencia, and member of the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology. She has ample experience in the use of molecular markers applied to the systemised conservation of threatened species. She participates in project BFI2002-00664 and is in charge of applying microsatellites to the characterisations of rice varieties. She is the leading investigator of a coordinated European project in which nuclear microsatellites are applied to genetic diversity study and to the structure of European ash species (Fraximus ornus, F. excelsior and F. angustifolia), and chloroplastic microsatellites to establish the phylogeography of such species. As a result of this recently finished project (30th June 2005), is the book entitled Ash species in Europe of which IMA is co-author and she has participated in the drafting of the aforementioned sections on F. ornus and F. angustifolia.

Dr. Miguel Guara Requena, Full university teacher, appointed to the Dept. of Botany at the University of Valencia - he is currently the Director of the Depto. of Botany. He has participated in more than 10 investigation projects (agreements and contracts) financed by public funds (Generalitat Valenciana (G.V.) and the Ministry of Education and Science: CICYT) which refer to the effects of forest fires and forest treatments, and the ecology and taxonomy of certain vascular species, as well as the taxonomy and chorologic treatment of several plants. He is highly experienced in the statistical and multivariate data treatment.

Dr. Fernando Boisset López, Full university teacher, appointed to the Dept. of Botany at the University of Valencia. He is a specialist in Mediterranean marine flora and he has participated in various projects financed with public funds (GV and CICYT), among which the Flora Phycologica Ibérica project stands out, the objective of which is to progressively update information on algal biodiversity along Iberian coastlines. Although his investigation activity covers the marine flora sphere, his teaching work in the Dept. of Botany provides him a sound knowledge of vascular flora, upon which he based his Degree.
