Introduction
I am interested in systematics, biogeography, evolution, conservation and applied uses of plants, especially South American Subtropical and Temperate flora. Major research interests are systematics and evolution; genetic resources and pre-breeding of crop wild relatives; sustainable management of palm groves from Southern Brazil and curation and exploration of herbaria data. Biologist (UFPel), Master (ENBT/JBRJ) and PhD (USP) in Botany. More info: https://500queerscientists.com/gustavo-heiden/

Asteraceae is the world’s richest plant family and is found on all continents, in environments ranging from the coast to the highest mountains. The family shows all growth forms and, as in other angiosperm families, species richness is concentrated in tropical regions. South America has the highest diversity of Asteraceae in the world, yet taxonomi...
