Dr. Muñoz Muñoz specializes in the morphological analysis of small mammals, particularly focusing on Mus musculus domesticus and chromosomal polymorphism. His research employs advanced geometric morphometric techniques to study evolutionary patterns, developmental stability, and adaptive radiation across various taxa. He has made significant contributions to understanding the relationship between chromosomal variation and morphological differentiation in rodent populations.

His publication record shows a consistent trajectory of high-quality research, with a notable increase in output since 2016. His work spans multiple disciplines including evolutionary biology, ecology, anatomy, and entomology, with particular emphasis on geometric morphometrics as a methodological approach. Recent publications demonstrate continued innovation in applying 3D morphometric analysis to diverse biological questions ranging from amphibian phylogeography to insect vector biology.

Dr. Muñoz Muñoz has supervised eight research projects according to institutional records, indicating his active role in mentoring the next generation of researchers. His work contributes to Sustainable Development Goals related to quality education and life on land through his ecological and evolutionary research.

His research has been supported by projects such as 'Dinámica espacio-temporal y variación morfológica en una zona de polimorfismo Robertsoniano de Mus musculus domesticus' funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science (2007-2010), demonstrating his ability to secure competitive research funding.
