Conservation Genetics in the Neotropics

Dr. Pedro M. Galetti Jr is Full Professor of Evolutionary and Conservation Genetics at Federal University of São Carlos (Brazil). He leads a research group working on molecular ecology, population genetics, phylogeography, evolutionary and conservation genetics using molecular approaches with a focus on vertebrates. He is recognized among pioneering researchers on neotropical fish genetics and is now interested in the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on the genetic diversity of fish, birds and mammals. Pedro Galetti has published more than two hundred papers in recognized journals. He was visiting professor at East Tennessee State University and visiting scholar at Stanford University. He was provost of Research and Graduate Studies and vice-rector of the Federal University of São Carlos, and president of the Brazilian Society of Genetics. He is editor of Temas Atuais em Biologia, a Brazilian electronic journal for scientific dissemination in Biology, and is associate editor of GENETICA (Springer). He has mentored several PhD students and postdocs.

佩德羅·M·加萊提博士是巴西聖卡洛斯聯邦大學的進化與保育遺傳學全職教授。他領導一個研究團隊，專注於分子生態學、族群遺傳學、系統地理學以及進化與保育遺傳學，並以脊椎動物為研究重點，運用分子方法進行研究。他在新熱帶魚類遺傳學方面被認為是開創性研究者之一，現在對棲息地喪失和破碎化對魚類、鳥類和哺乳動物遺傳多樣性的影響感興趣。佩德羅·加萊提已在知名期刊上發表超過兩百篇論文。他曾擔任東田納西州立大學的訪問教授和史丹佛大學的訪問學者。他曾擔任聖卡洛斯聯邦大學的研究與研究生院副校長，以及巴西遺傳學會的會長。他是《當前生物學主題》（Temas Atuais em Biologia）的編輯，這是一份巴西的電子期刊，專注於生物學的科學傳播，並且是《GENETICA》（Springer）的副編輯。他指導過多位博士生和博士後研究人員。
