Luis Camacho
Ecology and Biogeography
At the core, I am a naturalist. I use my knowledge on biodiversity and natural history, particularly on treehoppers, to test a variety of questions in ecology. The tropical Andes is my home and focus of research to provide a macroecological context to several aspects of my work. My research addresses a variety of ecological questions at a variety of scales, from species to whole ecosystems.
