Summary

Since I was an undergraduate student I research harvestmen. I've published one article at Zootaxa describing two new species of an Atlantic Forest genus in the end of my undergraduation. Recently I've finished my MSc studies, in which I propose the first phylogenetic hypothesis to a Gonyleptidae genus called Mischonyx and describe three new species for this genus. My main areas of interest are taxonomy and systematics of Atlantic Forest harvestmen and how we can infer past geological events with extant species genetic code.
