2015 The Garden Club of America Fellowship in Tropical Botany
Juan Ernesto Guevara is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Integrative Biology at University of California, Berkeley. He is broadly interested in the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying the current patterns of Amazonian tree species turnover and endemism. He is particularly interested in investigating the role of climate and heterogeneity, influenced by diversity, in the species turnover along a longitudinal gradient in Amazon terra firma forests. His intensive fieldwork will take him to places in Western and Central Amazonia where others have not collected before.
