I work in research and outreach. As a scientist, I am interested in the role of mycorrhizae for the ecology, evolution and conservation of Brazilian orchids. I also coordinate of the outreach program "Plant Diversity in Focus", which aims to raise public awareness on the importance of biodiversity conservation and scientific research, using plants as a model. I have experience with systematics and phylogeny of orchids and using molecular markers for population and phylogenetic studies. I am currently an assistant professor at the Department of Plant Biology at the State University of Campinas/IB. I previously worked as an assistant professor at the Federal University of São Paulo (2008-2015) and as a Young Researcher / FAPESP fellow at the University of São Paulo (ESALQ / USP) (2007). I have a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (1994-1998) and a Master's and Doctorate in Plant Biology from the State University of Campinas (1999-2007).Websites: samanthakoehler-lab.weebly.com (research), diveg.weebly.com (outreach - in portuguese)Twitter: @samk_BR (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Biodiversity loss is global, but its impact is greatest in the tropics. To effectively conserve biodiversity in Brazil, we need accurate indicators of its status. Yet, our knowledge is constrained by data that are taxonomically and geographically biased toward a small subset of organisms. Invertebrates and fungi have profound knowledge gaps, reflecting the lack of experts, funding, public…
Whereas knowledge on the mechanisms and consequences of sexual reproduction in the Orchidaceae increases rapidly, the role of asexual reproduction on lineage diversification and speciation remains as one of the most challenging questions to be answered. In this context the 'Zygopetalum maculatum' species complex emerges as a potential model for study. This group is unique among orchids fo…
