Flávia M. Lanna studies the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of reptiles and amphibians in Brazil, particularly lizards, geckos, snakes and frogs found in semi-arid and mountain regions. Her work uses DNA-based methods (phylogeography and phylogenetics) to understand how rivers, mountains and habitat changes have shaped species distributions and gene flow over time. This research contributes to conservation planning by identifying genetically important populations and protected areas.
