OverviewAI-generated summary

Pedro Henrique Pezzi's research investigates the evolutionary processes shaping the genomes and phylogenies of various animal and plant species. His work has explored the genetic variation and hybridization events within plant genera, such as *Petunia* and *Calibrachoa*, utilizing molecular data to understand their diversification in South America. Pezzi has also examined the evolutionary dynamics of gene families, including transcription factors and O-methyltransferases, within the Solanaceae family. His research extends to animal genetics, with studies on mitochondrial genomes of insects like stink bugs and the prevalence of *Wolbachia* bacteria in terrestrial isopods, investigating potential horizontal gene transfer.
