Prof Geraldo Wilson Fernandes – PhD in evolutionary ecology (Northern Arizona University, USA, 1992), Tinker Professor at Stanford University (2015/2016), visiting professor at Universidad de Seville (2019/2020), and full member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences. Has experience in plant-animal interactions, biomonitoring, restoration ecology, climate change, environmental assessment and bioeconomy. Six books published (three of them with Springer), more than 500 peer-reviewed articles published on various subjects in the field of environmental sciences, and more than 100 graduate students supervised. Currently, full professor at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Dr Yumi Oki – PhD in Entomology (University of São Paulo, Brazil, 2005). Postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Alberta, Canada. She has experience in the fields of Ecology, with emphasis on Ecosystem Ecology, Applied Ecology, Environmental Restoration, Environmental Services, Environmental Microbiology and bioprospecting. Current research subjects include diversity, insect-plant interaction, biological activity, Lepidoptera, herbivory, environmental services, symbiotic microorganisms and endophytic fungi. Currently, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil.Dr Milton Barbosa – PhD in Zoology (University of Oxford, UK, 2017). Worked in the Sea Around Us project, University of British Columbia, Canada. Was a Fellow in the “Emerging Leader in the Americas” program at the University of Alberta, Canada. Participated in the IBISCA (Investigating Biodiversity of Insects in Soil and Canopy) international expeditions to Australia and Vanuatu; and in the Tropi-Dry project, studying tropical dry forests in Serra do Cipó, Brazil. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil. He has experience in the field of Ecology, working mainly on community assembly, indirect interaction networks, and insect-plant interactions.
This book has a broad scope and provides a comprehensive overview of the most up-to-date knowledge of the plant genus Baccharis. The book is organized into four major topics encompassing the evolution, ecology, chemistry, as well as environmental and medical applications of the genus. This publication is a major reference for an audience of practising researchers, academics, PhD students, and other scientists in a wide-ranging collection of fields, from Sociology to Medicine to bioeconomy.
