Research Interests:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

How many beetle species exist? What do they do for a living? How to tell them apart? How do they relate to one another? Where do they live? How did they get about, and where are they going upon current environmental changes? These are the main question driving Dr. Silveira\u2019s research. Special emphasis is placed on fireflies (Lampyridae) and their kin.<\/p>\n

I teach courses related to Biodiversity, including Principles of Biology, Systematics, Invertebrates, Arthropods, and Evolution. I like to combine field and lab work with research-based exams, to offer a well-rounded formation to students. My classes always welcome the curious minds of engaged students.<\/span><\/p>\n
