Département de Sciences Biologiques, Université de Montréal
In the Paz lab we are broadly interested in the patterns of species distributions and the processes behind the generation and persistence of those
patterns at different scales. Although we work with diverse groups of organisms Andrea has a particular interest in amphibians and we are involved
with several projects related to amphibian phylogeography and amphibian responses to past and current climate change
(see my research page for more info).

About Andrea
I graduated with a BS in Biology from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia where I studied the phylogeography
of the Red-eyed tree frog and how the environment may be influencing the phylogeographic patterns. During my Master´s at the
same university I studied the environmental and ecological determinants of population genetic divergence in amphibians of
Panama. I hold a Biology (Ecology Evolution and Behavior) PhD from the City University of New York (CUNY). I joined the program and
the Carnaval Lab in the Fall 2015 with a Fulbright Colombia fellowship. For my PhD I studied how environments can be used to predict different dimensions of diversity in the Brazilian Atlantic
Forest. At CUNY, besides working on my dissertation, I was part of the WallaceEcoMod development team mainly focusing on the development of tools with conservation applications and general software development.
As a postdoctoral researcher at the Crowther Lab at ETH Zürich I worked on mapping diversity patterns and understanding
the relation between environments and the distribution of biodiversity on earth. I am also interested in how remote sensing data can help us improve biodiversity mapping and monitoring.
