OverviewAI-generated summary
Pedro Henrique Pezzi's research investigates the evolutionary processes shaping genetic and genomic diversity in animals and plants. His work has explored the dynamics of hybridization in plant genera such as *Petunia* and *Calibrachoa*, utilizing molecular data to understand taxonomic relationships and evolutionary histories in South American species. Pezzi has also studied the evolution of gene families, including O-methyltransferases in Solanaceae, and investigated transcription factor evolution within metabolic pathways. His research extends to animal systems, examining mitochondrial genome evolution in insects like stink bugs and exploring the transmission of microorganisms, such as *Wolbachia*, in terrestrial isopods. Pezzi's scholarship includes publications on the integration of morphological, niche modeling, and molecular data for taxonomic resolution and the genetic variation within animal populations. His h-index is 5 with 129 total citations across 27 publications.
