Biography
I am an ecologist working in ecosystem services and forest functional dynamics in the Tropics. I use dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) as an indicator tool to quantify ecosystem services and environmental impact caused by humans in different bioregions. Still, I also work with other insect groups like Orthoptera, Neuroptera, and several families of Coleoptera. I have published more than 40 papers in national and international top journals and specialized journals. Also, I am the advisor of several BSc, MSc, and Ph.D. students. I have described several new species of insects. I am an associate editor for several journals. Besides, I have worked with indigenous communities and college students, teaching and transmitting love for insects. Finally, on two occasions, I won the National Award of Entomology in Colombia.
