Vitor F.O. de Miranda has a degree in Biological Sciences (1999), master's and doctorate in Biological Sciences (Plant Biology) - Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho campus Rio Claro (2006) and Livre-Docência - Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho campus Jaboticabal (2018). He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho campus Jaboticabal (UNESP/FCAV), visiting professor at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, co-instructor of the Florida International University (COIL Program - USA), and curator of Herbarium Jaboti (JABU). He is coordinator of the Graduate Program (Master and PhD) on Agronomy - Genetics and Plant Breeding (UNESP/FCAV) and teaches courses for undergraduate courses (Biological Sciences and Agronomic Engineering) related to plant systematics and for graduate courses (Master and PhD) related to phylogenetic systematics, genomics and molecular evolution. He is the leader of the research group (CNPq) Systematics, genomics and evolution of carnivorous plants, member of the editorial board of the journals Frontiers in Plant Science (Switzerland), Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution (Switzerland), Italian Botanist (Italy) and PLANTS (Switzerland) and reviewer of national and international scientific journals. Advisor to national (Fapesp, Capes, CNPq) and international (Human Frontier Science Program - France, Ministero dell'Università and della Ricerca, Italy) agencies. He is also Internationalization Coordinator and principal investigator of the Research Center for Biodiversity Dynamics and Climate Change (CBioClima), a Research, Innovation and Diffusion Center (CEPID) based at the São Paulo State University (UNESP - www.cbioclima.org) , with support from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). He published >70 scientific articles in national and international journals, >10 book chapters and organized a book. Supervised and supervises undergrad and graduated students and researchers of scientific initiation, master's, doctorate and post-doc. He has experience in botany, with focus on plant systematics, working mainly on the following subjects: systematics and taxonomy, phylogenetic systematics, phylogeography, genetics and molecular evolution.

The unprecedented loss of biodiversity and the imminent threats of climate and environmental changes are among the most important challenges faced by humanity. Biodiversity continues to decline worldwide, mainly in response to urban and agriculture expansion over natural areas. In addition, climate change is projected to commit over one-third of the Earth's animal and plant species to ext…
Carnivory in plants arose in different angiosperms lineages, with Lentibulariaceae as the largest family, represented by the genera Pinguicula, Genlisea and Utricularia. Brazil is considered a diversity center for the family and Colombia also stands out for the large number of species. However, there are few studies in Colombia and, therefore, the diversity of the family may be underestim…
Anthocyanins are produced by the synthesis via of flavonoids that is related to the protection against UV radiation, but that has acquired by evolution new functions as protection against herbivores, pathogens and also production of pigments. In reason of relationship between the color of flowers with the attraction of pollinators and their behavior for recognizing flower patterns (as siz…
The vast majority of living organisms have body architecture that seems to follow rules called bauplan. These bauplans are artificial classifications that we assign to the "units" that make up an organism, such as humans, arms, legs, heads, and for plants, stems, leaves and flowers. However, there are organisms that do not follow these traditional organs delimitations called "morphologica…
The genus Utricularia comprises about 35% of all carnivorous plant species and occurs in diverse habitats, which presents high rates of phenotypic plasticity and nutritional specialization. Its species are widespread, and many of them are found in South America, mainly in Brazil (about 70 species). The utricles, one of the most complex structures adapted to carnivory, are diagnostic struc…
