Professor Alexandre Antonelli

Alexandre Antonelli (born 15 August 1978)[1] is Director of Science at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew,[2] UK, Professor of Biodiversity and Systematic at the University of Gothenburg,[3] Sweden, and Visiting Professor at the University of Oxford.[4] He is a biodiversity scientist working to understand the evolution and distribution of the diversity of life on Earth and how best to protect and sustainably use it.[5] His first popular science book, The Hidden Universe: Adventures in Biodiversity, was published in July 2022.[6]

Biography

[edit]

Antonelli was born and raised in Campinas, Brazil, and completed his undergraduate studies in biology in Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil and the University of Geneva, Switzerland.[7][8] From there, he went on to complete an MSc in Biology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, which was awarded in 2003.[7] He remained at the university to pursue a PhD entitled Spatiotemporal Evolution of Neotropical Organisms: New Insights into an Old Riddle, awarded in 2009.[9] Since then, he has held a number of prestigious scientific positions, including postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Switzerland,[7] Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg,[10][7] Cisneros Visiting Scholar at Harvard University, USA,[11][7] Science Advisor at the Universeum Science Centre, Gothenburg, and Scientific Curator at Gothenburg Botanical Garden.[7] In 2017, Antonelli founded the Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre[12] and was the Director until 2019 when he moved to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, to take up his current position as Director of Science.[13] He was also the founder and chairman (2015-2020) of knowme.earth, a mobile platform for logging, identifying, and sharing information about all species on Earth.[7]

Antonelli met his wife Anna while in Sweden and they have three children together.[7]

Research

[edit]

Antonelli studies the distribution, evolution, threats and sustainable uses of species and develops methods to speed up scientific discovery and innovation.[7] His work focuses on the tropics, where most species occur and the threats are most acute,[7] and he is also known for his work on mountain diversity.[14][15][16] Antonelli has also written on the biodiversity of the Neotropics.[17][18][19][20] In December 2022, he co-authored two sister reviews in Science on the biodiversity of Madagascar.[21][22] He has recently been exploring the application of machine learning techniques for biodiversity research and conservation[23][24] In 2020, Antonelli led the State of the World's Plants and Fungi report,[25] a major international collaboration with an associated symposium.[26]

He was named on the Web of Science / Clarivate 2020, 2021 and 2022 ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ list, which identifies pioneering researchers in the top 1% of their field.[27]

Plant species named

[edit]

Antonelli's taxonomic work has led to the scientific description of the following new plant species:

● Ciliosemina Antonelli (Rubiaceae)[28]

● Ciliosemina pedunculata (H.Karst.) Antonelli (Rubiaceae)[29]

● Ciliosemina purdieana (Wedd.) Antonelli (Rubiaceae)[30]

● Cordiera montana C. H. Perss., Delprete & Antonelli (Rubiaceae)[31]

Two species have also been named in his honour:

Recognition

[edit]

Antonelli won the Senckenberg Prize for Nature Research (2022),[34] was awarded 1st Prize (with collaborators) in the GBIF Ebbe Nielsen Challenge (2020 and 2021),[35][36] and 2nd prize (2016),[35] was Cisneros Visiting Scholar, David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, Harvard University (2018),[11] was named as one of Sweden's 100 coolest researchers (2017), was a Future Research Leader, Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (2016), elected member of the Young Academy of Sweden (2016-2019), was the Wallenberg Academy Fellow, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (2014), and is an elected member of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Gothenburg (2016-).[7] In 2023, he was selected to sit on the Convention on Biological Diversity's Informal Advisory Group on Technical and Scientific Cooperation.[37]

The standard author abbreviation Antonelli is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[38]
