Carla Maria Penz (born October 17, 1961) is a butterfly

neotropical butterflies

Biography

Carla Penz was born in

Porto Alegre, Brazil, the first-born daughter of Rubem Paulo Penz and Isolde Renate Penz (née Seth). Through her father’s love for nature and orchids, in particular, she developed an interest in biology from an early age. Penz attended the Jesuit school Colégio Anchieta, where she was also encouraged to pursue a career in science. As an undergraduate at Universidade Federal do the Rio Grande do Sul

(UFRGS), she volunteered at Museu Anchieta, where she started to study butterflies.

Penz obtained her doctorate degree at the

Invertebrate Zoology (2003-2004) at the Milwaukee Public Museum in Wisconsin. Penz joined the faculty at the University of New Orleans in 2004.^[2]^[3] She is also a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History

and the Milwaukee Public Museum, and an associate professor at PUC-RS, Brazil.

Along her career, Penz has studied butterfly genetics, natural history,

evolutionary diversification

of living organisms. Her research integrates morphological and evolutionary diversification, and also natural history and behavior of her study organisms.
