Vellozia is one of the most rich and abundant endemic genus in the Campos Rupestres in #Brazil. In this paper we investigated how past climate change helped to shape #Vellozia the present distribution of this iconic genus 👇🏽.

I'm pleased to share that my REU student, Rain Bugado, was one of the winners of the 2025 Undergraduate Research Prize by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists (ASPT) for her project on the conservation of Vellozia.

Brazil has more than 53,000 species of plants and fungi, one of the richest flora in the world! I love talking about that! Today, I gave a talk at the Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard University about this subject 🍄🪴🌿🇧🇷

How does the specimens available online become well curated? Because the taxonomists go to these museums to analyse the real specimens and make the species identifications. I updated the Vellozia collection at the Missouri Botanical Garden's herbarium after one week of work.

Vellozia is an iconic genus in the campos rupestres, a mountainous environment in the highlands of central-eastern Brazil. Under climate change, each species of Vellozia is expected to lose 84.26 % of its suitable habitat by 2060!.

I love to see my dear plants on the field! I collected this beautiful Vellozia angustifolia in Pirenópolis, Goiás, Brazil. See how beautiful are the Campos Rupestres, where they occur!

I'm attending the 74° Brazilian National Conference of Botany in Brasília and today I presented the paper we published recently about nomenclature of Vellozia 👇🏽.

It was a great honour to meet this incredible woman, Dr. Ana Maria Giullietii Harley! She is a Brazilian botanist and was the supervisor of many Brazilian botanists, such as my PhD supervisor. She was a pioneer in the studies of the plants from the Campos Rupestres!

RT @begoniARCIIae: Informative and great talk by @jason_nge, happy to finally seeing you in person. 🤗

Saiu uma reportagem na @AgenciaFAPESP sobre o artigo do meu pós-doutorado na @usponline sob supervisão da @Lucia_Lohmann e @tlpcouvreur 🌳💚.

Excellent correspondence from @Rick_S_Ribeiro.It highlights the disparity among the earnings of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in Brazil.

RT @Lucia_Lohmann: The end of an amazing week in Kigali🇷🇼, with my favorite community of Tropical Biologists celebrating the ATBC's 60th An….

There are 2 things I like talking about: plants and plants from Brazil. I had the opportunity to present the project REFLORA in the #botany2024. Some facts, there are 52,000 plants and fungi in #Brazil and more than 4.4 million specimens images. See below.

Today I presented our work recently published in @annbot about the biography of a clade in #Annonaceae in the #botany2024 . Below the complete article 👇🏽.

Great talk about food plant diversity at #Botany2024 by Dr. Colin Khoury.

First time attending the #Botany2024 !

RT @HarvardHerbaria: Spend next Tuesday 6/18 evening with our own Jenny Brown and @JeniferCLopes, along with Sonia Ralston of @Northeastern….

RT @HarvardHerbaria: #NewPub in Taxon by HUH Fellow @JeniferCLopes on the typification of Pohl’s #Vellozia species

A shot from our lab meeting last week, the Davis lab at @Harvard is almost complete, just our PI is missing in the picture 😅

I'm very happy to share that I was awarded the prize "Young Talents" by the Instituto de Biociências from @usponline by our paper on the biogeography of Annonaceae, work I developed during my post-doc supervised by @Lucia_Lohmann.and @tlpcouvreur.
