Biological Systems and Organisms
My main focus is to study biodiversity and systematics of parasitoid wasps of the family Ichneumonidae; particularly the ones occurring in Neotropical region, detailing which species occur in this region, their distribution, interactions with other insects, and their relationships within the family Ichneumonidae.
