Ms. Leonardo Polizeli | Biology and Life Sciences | Student| Federal University of Parana | Brazil

Ms. Leonardo Polizeli is a zoologist and entomology researcher with a strong academic foundation and growing contributions to insect systematics and Neotropical biodiversity studies. She completed her undergraduate education in Biological Sciences at Universidade Federal do Paraná, where she developed early research experience through scientific initiation programs, teaching-related scholarships, and academic extension activities. She later earned a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences with a specialization in Zoology (Entomology) from the same institution, supported by a national research scholarship, and conducted advanced research under expert supervision in insect taxonomy. Her professional experience includes active engagement at the Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, where she has contributed as a postgraduate researcher, scientific initiation scholar, academic volunteer, and student representative, demonstrating both research competence and institutional leadership. Ms. Leonardo Polizeli’s research interests center on the taxonomy, systematics, and classification of Blattaria (Blattodea), with particular emphasis on Blaberidae, Blaberinae, Zetoborinae, Neotropical cockroach diversity, and Araucaria forest ecosystems. Her work contributes to the understanding of insect biodiversity, evolutionary relationships, and conservation-relevant systematics within South American fauna.
