Daniel DeMiguel has a degree in Geology from the University of Zaragoza, and a PhD degree in Science (2009) from the University of Zaragoza focused on the biomechanics of the dentition and the study of dental wear of fossil ruminants from the Neogene of the Iberian Range basins. Shortly after defending his thesis, he joined the Department of "Neogene and Quaternary fauna" of the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel crusafont ICP as a postdoctoral researcher. Nowadays, he works in this center as a "Juan de la Cierva" researcher since 2012.
His main research interests are in the area of evolutionary paleoecology, covering a wide variety of problems related to the biological evolution of herbivorous mammals and the climatic evolution of the Iberian Neogene basins.

Josep Fortuny (La Roca del Vallès, 1980) has a Degree of Biology (Zoology) at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia (2006) and a PhD of Geology by the Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia (2011) about the early tetrapods from the Permian and Triassic periods and its paleobiology using biomechanical approaches.
He started in paleontology as scholar in Institut de Paleontologia de Sabadell and after he got a predoctoral contract. Currently, he has a postdoctoral position in the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (Barcelona, Catalonia) and he is the coordinator of the Virtual Paleontology Research Group. His research focus on the paleobiology of early tetrapods using non invasive tecniques as CT scanners and biomechanical approaches as Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Dr. Fortuny is member of the Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology (SVP) and the Association des Géologues du Permien et du Trias (AGPT).
