Leaf-beetle alpha taxonomy:
Checklists, New Species and identification key

Despite the great relevance and prominence in ecological and evolutionary literature of the “Phytophaga”, little is known regarding their natural history, taxonomy and systematics, complicating the evaluation of important evolutionary hypotheses.

Thus, much of my publications were are on alpha taxonomy, e.g, defining species and observing initial patterns of distribution, morphology and ecology.

​

At the moment we are working on different checklists, description of new species and updateding regional identification keys.

Stay tuned!
