Daniela Matenaar is the curator of the invertebrate collection at Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt. She has researched biodiversity in central European soils as well as the species diversity and behavior of South African short-horned grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Caelifera). Since then, she has continued to focus on the taxonomic studies of cryptic, wingless species of the African Orthoptera family Lentulidae (particularly the genus Betiscoides) using phylogenetic and photogrammetric analyses, and has recently expanded the geographical focus to South America.Since March 2024 Matenaar is Speaker in the GfBS's Curators Group.
