Leonardo has led comprehensive DNA barcoding initiatives, studying the evolution of butterfly biodiversity through time and space, including creating a complete library for Western European butterflies. Leonardo established the first phylogenetic tree for all European species and an extensive dataset of traits. He also maintains and is an author of the recluster R package, a statistical tool for the spatial analysis of biodiversity patterns.<\/p>\nDr. Leonardo Dapporto, head of \u201cZen Lab\u201d and the representative for Italy on iBOL\u2019s Science Committee. <\/span><\/h5>\n
