Cristiano Feldens Schwertner I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Brazil . My prymary research interests are the systematics, biogeography and evolution of the Pentatomoidea, based on different character systems (comparative morphology of adults and immatures, bionomics, host plants, etc.). I also have interest in the study of the stink bug/host plant interactions and its consequences on natural and modified environments. I have a B.S. in Zoology (1998) and a B.Ed. in Biological Sciences (1998) at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (1998); an MS in Plant Production at Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (2001), and a PhD in Animal Biology at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (2005).
