History

Biomes or regions of interest: 

Amazonia, Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, Caatinga (dry woodland) and Espinhaço mountain range "campos rupestres".

Research interests: 

I have broad research interests involving plants, such as systematics, morphology and biogeography. I concentrate my work on the systematics and conservation of Bromeliaceae and I am also very interested in patterns of speciation related to naturally fragmented habitas such as inselbergs and other rocky outcrops.
