Filipe Michels Bianchi Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre, Brazil I am a PhD student in the Zoology Department at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, under the supervision of Dr. Luiz Alexandre Campos. My primary research interests are the systematics and evolution of the Pentatomidae, based on morphological and molecular datasets. I also have focused my efforts on the morphology of immature stages, as well as the ecology of the Pentatomoidea.
