He is using diverse approachesfrom taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, phylogeography, to modeling species distributionto understand the evolution and resilience of biodiversity in rain forests. In this interview, Thomas describes the ongoing research in his lab, the most urgent challenges and opportunities in biodiversity research, and the importance of knowing how to code. %$ 082 ; 076
