| Submission declined on 11 February 2025 by Tesleemah (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Tesleemah 34 days ago. | |
Comment: I am prepared to accept that she passes WP:NPROF#C1. However, far too much of this is unsourced, as I have marked. I also removed some peacock (WP:PEACOCK) and routine stuff (WP:MILL) which did not belong. Please read those essays carefully. Correct the sourcing and resubmit.

Ana Carolina Carnaval is a brazilian herpetologist and evolutionary biologist;[1]. She is a professor at The City College of New York (CCNY) since 2010[2].
Carnaval studies herpetology, evolution and the spatial patterns of biodiversity and ecological processes, aiming to predict biodiversity and contribute to conservation[3]. The projects at her lab focuses on biogeography, integrative uses of comparative phylogeography, GIS-based distribution models, current environmental data and paleoclimatic simulations, physiology, and genomics - with a focus in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest[1].
Early life and education
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (March 2025) |
Ana was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Ana earned a licentiate degree in Biology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1993, with Summa c. Laude honors. After she graduated she taught at Colégio Pedro II, from 1994 to 1997. She was a lecturer at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1994 in the zoology course. While teaching she entered the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro graduate program where she earned a master's degree in 1997 with the thesis: "Aspectos da morfologia e biologia Reprodutiva de uma população de Scinax argyreornatus em Magé, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae)" under Dr. Sérgio Potsch supervision.
Ana entered the PhD program in the University of Chicago advised by Dr. John Bates at the Field Museum, where she studied the frogs of northeastern Brazil. She was a teaching assistant to Evolutionary Biology in the Univeristy of Chicago during her PhD. She earned her PhD in 2004 with the dissertation entitled: "Amphibian Phylogeography and Conservation in Fragmented Forests of Northeastern Brazil".
Carnaval did her Postdoctorate Fellow at University of California, Berkley at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology from 2005 to 2010 under the supervision of Dr. Craig Moritz.
Career
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (March 2025) |
Ana became an Assistant Professor at City College/City University of New York in 2010, in 2016 advanced to be an Associate, and in 2023 became a Professor. Ana Carnaval's laboratory at CCNY has collaborations with several other reasearches across the globe, some of these collaborators are: Andrew Reinmann (CUNY), Andy Rominger (Santa Fe Institute), Célio Haddad (UNESP), Craig Moritz (ANU),Fabian Michelangili (NYBG), Miguel Trefaut Rodrigues (USP), Mike Hickerson (CUNY/CCNY), Jason Brown (SIU), Jeremy VanDerWal (JCU), Rob Puschendorf (PU), and Thiago Silva (University of Stirling).
Ana was mentor to several students during her period as faculty at CCNY, always working towards an inclusive workspace and for that received the "2024 CUNY Graduate Center Mentoring Award"[4].
Ana's works are across a variety of topics involving evolution, distribution patterns, and conservation. Her work combines evolution with other areas such as ecology[5]. An example are publications in evolutionary biology and distribution patterns, contributing to a better understanding of the Atlantic Forest biodiversity, and how it was distributed in the past using paleoclimatic simulations..[6][7].
Some of the topics Ana has contributed:
- Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a chytrid fungus responsible for has contributed to the decline of amphibian poulations across the globe, occurences and its distribution[9].
- Phylogenetics and phylogeography[10][11]
- Refuges and endemism[7][12]
Species Descriptions
[edit]Ana Carnaval and Oswaldo Peixoto (a retired herpetologist from the Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro) described the species Boana freicanecae known to occur only in two municipalities in northeastern Brazil, Estação Ecológica de Murici in the city of Murici, Alagoas, and the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Frei Caneca in the city of Jaqueira, Pernambuco[13][14].
She also was part of the descriptions of three other species: Gastrotheca prasina, G. recava and the lizard Anolis neglectus.[citation needed]
Honors
[edit]- 2024 CUNY Graduate Center Mentoring Award (2024)[4];
- Kavli Fellow (2013)[15];
- Early Career Scientist invited to The White House's launching of NSF’s Flexibility in the Workplace Policy (2011)[16]
