I am an ant taxonomist and systematist. I combine field research and collections-based work, applying principles from several fields ranging from morphology and alpha-taxonomy to systematics, phylogenomics, curation and natural history to develop an integrative and multidisciplinary understanding of ant biodiversity.
I am keen on composting, biking and agroforestry! |

"Etymology: This species is named, in apposition, after Mônica Antunes Ulysséa, a Brazilian myrmecologist, poetess, activist, and agroecologist, for her contribution to the knowledge of Neotropical ants, especially the taxonomy of Myrmicinae. Besides being a great friend, Mônica’s protagonism in academic feminism has been an inspiration for contemporary and future generations of female myrmecologists."
