Andressa Cabral

I am a botanist interested in evolutionary biology, biogeography and systematics. Since the bachelor's degree, I’ve been working with floritics and conservation in the eastern Brazilian mountains. My master’s thesis was focused in systematics, biogeography, morphological diversity and phylogenetic relationships in Barbacenia (Velloziaceae), a disjunct lineage in the Brazilian rock outcrops, mainly campo rupestre and Atlantic Forest inselbergs. During my PhD at iDiv, I’m studying the macroecology and macroevolution of plant-frugivore trait matching in the tropics.
