Jennifer C. Girón studies the taxonomy, classification, and biogeography of beetles (Coleoptera), particularly weevils (Curculionidae), water scavenger beetles (Hydrophilidae), and related groups, with a regional focus on Colombia and the Neotropics. Her work involves describing new species, compiling species checklists and catalogs, and building digital tools such as ontologies and databases to organize biodiversity data. This research supports natural history museum collections and open biodiversity data infrastructure used by other scientists.
