Mario Alejandro Marín Uribe

I am a professor and curator at the Museo Entomológico Francisco Luis Gallego in the Universidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Medellín. I am interested in studying the evolution and diversification of Lepidoptera, with a focus on the evolution and diversification of Neotropical groups, their biogeography, geographical distribution, phylogeny, and biological diversity (at different scales: genetic, taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic).Currently, my research focuses on two objectives; the first is to study 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 is to study High Andean butterflies' geographic distribution patterns and genetic and phylogenetic diversity to understand how these communities are structured in anthropic and natural landscapes.
