Universidade Federal do Pará,
Brazil

     I am a professor in the Instuto de Ciêcias Biológicas at the Universidade Federal do Pará.  My research is focused on the Pentatomidae, especially the taxonomy and phylogeny of the Edessinae and Discocephalinae.  I am also conducting projects in the Amazonian region concerning the biodiversity of Heteroptera (from the ground to the canopy, using several methods), and conservation of fragmented areas using bugs as indicators.
