Joaquim Manoel da Silva leads research focused on genomic surveillance of pathogens in South America, integrating genomics, transcriptomics, and metagenomics.

Dr. Nicté Ordóñez-Garza is a zoologist specializing in the study of mammals, with a focus on the phylogeography, evolutionary dynamics, and pathogen associations of Neotropical small mammals.

Cody Thompson's research centers on the patterns and processes of mammalian diversity, focusing primarily on the effects of hybridization on the species boundary, using museum collections as a primary resource.

Manfredo Turcios studies mammals, particularly in understanding their diversity, distribution, and conservation status.

Derek Van Berkel is a co-investigator on BioARC, focusing on participatory geospatial science, public engagement, and co-producing actionable knowledge for climate and health resilience.

Arlo Cansino serves as Program Coordinator at The Belize Vector and Ecology (BVEC), where his experience in project management, financial management, community outreach and even hands-on research aids the organization's mission of understanding and combating vector-borne diseases in Belize.

Hernani Oliveira has worked across the tropics worldwide towards understanding multiple aspects of the ecology and conservation of different animal groups, but mostly focused on mammals.
