Naturalistes a Mèxic: Els exiliats espanyols i les institucions científiques mexicanes

Abstract

Naturalists in Exile. Joining Mexican Institutions.
The end of the Spanish Civil War, with Franco’s victory in 1939, sparked the start of one of the most dramatic exoduses in contemporary history. Exiled scientists carried out tremendously important work in the countries offering them asylum, helping to promote scientifi c and technological progress. This article focuses on a particular group of exiles, Naturalists, and looks at the training they received in Spain and the main scientifi c and academic institutions they joined in Mexico.
