Summary
Master in Entomology and Doctor in Ecology. I am interested in the evolution and diversification of Neotropical Lepidoptera, focused in the study of the biogeography, geographical distribution, phylogeny, and biological diversity (at different scales: genetic, taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic) of butterflies.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Campinas and my research is focused on two objectives, the first is the study of the diversification, biogeography, and delimitation of butterfly species complexes in the Amazon and Andean region, using various sources of evidence, such as DNA, morphology, ecology and geographical distribution. The second one, focused on the study of patterns of geographic distribution, genetic and phylogenetic diversity of High Andean butterflies, seeking to understand how these communities are structured.
