Scientific profile

 

My main interests lies in understanding the evolution and diversity of angiosperms functional traits, mainly in legumes (Fabaceae) species in the mimisoid clade. For my current research, I've decided to focus on the Acacia genus. I’m investigating the relations between morphological and ecological traits of Australian Acacia species. For that, I’m combining trait data from monographs and flora websites.
