Birthplace: Brazil

I am a Botanist interested in systematics, biogeography, evolution, conservation and applied uses of the plants, specially South American Subtropical and Temperate flora. Major research interests include systematics and evolution; genetic resources and pre-breeding of crop wild relatives; sustainable management and use of the palm landscapes from Southern Brazil; and curation and exploration of herbaria data. I obtained my Bachelor and Licenciate degree in Biology from Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Master in Botany from Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, and PhD from Universidade de São Paulo with sandwich PhD at Gothenburg University, Sweden. Currently, I am a researcher at Embrapa Clima Temperado, Pelotas, Brazil. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Abstract
A comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis for the predominantly Neotropical American genus Baccharis is necessary to test its monophyly and clarify the infrageneric relationships within the genus. Given its great morphological diversity and wide geographic distribution, phylogenetic studies based on molecular data to test the monophyly of the genus and investigate the relationships of its i…

Abstract
Neotropical region is the Earth area with the highest biodiversity. To understand the processes that resulted in this richness, well dated and sampled phylogenies are necessary. Phylogenetic hypothesis has been employed mainly in taxonomic studies. However, the applicability of such works in evolutionary and biogeographic analysis is increasing in other fields of Biology. Due to the comp…
