Hola 🧉

I’m Flo, a biologist from Uruguay living in the Czech Republic. My research focuses on studying the spatial and temporal patterns of biodiversity. I work mainly in the Neotropical region and specifically with mammalian carnivores. My interests fall under areas like macroecology, biodiversity informatics, open science and community science. I coordinate Biodiversidata and NaturalistaUY. I’m also into camera-trapping and recording biodiversity. Be aware that on my site, I mix Spanish and English :)
