Kim Ribeiro Barão I am a professor in the Universidade Federal de Alagoas, in Penedo, Alagoas, Brazil. My primary interest in the Pentatomoidea concerns the systematics, biogeography and morphology of the Pentatomidae. I am also interested in the study of patterns and processes of shape evolution in species and populations of the Pentatomidae. I have a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences (2009) at Pontificia Católica do Rio Grande do Sul; and an M.S. degree (2011) and a Ph.D. degree in Animal Biology at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul.
