Daniel Vásquez-Restrepo
Hello!
My name is Daniel. I'm a Colombian biologist interested in macro-scale topics like macroecology and macroevolution. My research primarily focuses on untangling the eco-evolutionary drivers underlying patterns of species diversity. I am also actively working on the taxonomy and systematics of Neotropical reptiles, particularly snakes and gymnophthalmid lizards. I love scientific outreach and believe in the power of open data to reduce access barriers in science, especially for researchers in the Global South.
