Diego F. Cisneros-Heredia (born 1980 in Quito, Ecuador) is an Ecuadorian biologist who works on taxonomy and natural history of different groups of animals and on biodiversity conservation.

Biography

He grew up in Quito, Ecuador. From an early age he was interested in natural history, collecting data on the breeding of some Ecuadorian birds from the age of 10, which he later published in scientific articles, [1] and finding individuals of a new frog species when he was 17. [2]

In 2002 he was part of the Research Training Program of the National Museum of Natural History, United States (Smithsonian Institution), [3] where he worked under the supervision of the renowned herpetologist Roy Wallace McDiarmid. [4] He did his undergraduate studies at Universidad San Francisco de Quito USFQ (Ecuador), where he earned a Licentiate in Applied Ecology in 2006, followed by a Master's degree in Environmental Monitoring and Management in 2008. He earned his Doctorate (PhD) in Geography at King's College London (United Kingdom) [5] with a dissertation entitled "Spatial patterns and impact of habitat change on the vertebrate diversity of north-western South America". [6]

He is a full professor at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito USFQ, [7] where he is director of the Museum of Zoology. He is a research associate of the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad INABIO [8] and a member of several specialist commissions on various groups of animals of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). [9]

Cisneros-Heredia has researched throughout his career various topics in systematics, natural history, ecology and biogeography of different groups of animals (birds, amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates) in the Neotropics, being the first Ecuadorian to describe a new genus of vertebrate ( Nymphargus ), and having published more than 100 scientific articles and book chapters. [10]
