NJB welcomes Alexandre Gibau de Lima as subject editor!
Alexandra Gibau de Lima is a new subject editor for South American plant taxonomy.
Dr. Alexandre Gibau de Lima is a botanist and postdoctoral researcher at the University of São Paulo (ESALQ), Piracicaba, Brazil, and an affiliated researcher at the Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre (GGBC), University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He holds a PhD from the University of Gothenburg and the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro.
His research focuses on plant taxonomy and evolution, drawing extensively on herbarium collections, fieldwork and genomic data. Much of his work has centred on Leguminosae, particularly the pantropical genus Senna, investigating its phylogenetic relationships, biogeographic history and taxonomy. He has also described several new species and published taxonomic revisions.
Beyond legumes, Alexandre is interested in the taxonomy and floristics of other Neotropical plants, especially those of the mountainous regions of the Atlantic Forest and high-altitude grasslands. This work not only advances our knowledge of plant diversity but also supports conservation efforts and the sustainable use of plants.
