Abstract

As a tribute to Dr. Gabriela Castaño Meneses, who has dedicated a large part of her life to the study of arthropods, particularly focused on microarthropods and ants, we present a biographical sketch of her academic and professional career. Throughout her career, she has distinguished herself as a researcher and scholar in entomology, publishing more than 90 articles, 21 book chapters, and teaching more than 81 courses, among others. Her work has been characterized by a wide range of approaches, covering topics such as ecology and taxonomy of different groups of arthropods, including springtails, mites and ants, and covering the different gradients of a wide range of habitats. Undoubtedly, an outstanding researcher characterized by her great passion for study and her admiration for the unknown.
