Amphineurus (R.) nothofagetorum

Study area
I always was impressed by evolution and diversity. In my research, I study the facets of those areas such as systematics, paleontology, biogeography, ecology, and taxonomy. The focus of my interest is on craneflies (Diptera: Tipulomorpha). There are almost 16 thousand species. The phylogeny of the infraorder is still open with many taxa paraphyletic and never-revised. Several diversity studies may be made with them.
