Camilo Calderón-Acevedo

Camilo Calderón-Acevedo is a researcher affiliated with the Department of Biology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. His work focuses on mammalian taxonomy, evolutionary biology, and ecological interactions, particularly in Neotropical bats and plant species.

His research integrates morphological and genetic analyses to resolve taxonomic uncertainties, as demonstrated in his 2021 study on Anoura carishina and Anoura latidens. He has also contributed to biogeographical records, such as the first documentation of Anoura latidens in Bolivia (2020), and ecological studies on seed dispersal in Burmeistera (2017).

Key research themes include species delimitation, comparative morphology, and conservation implications of taxonomic revisions. Collaborations with Nathan Muchhala and Miguel Rodríguez-Posada highlight his interdisciplinary approach.
