Introduction
I am a biologist and PhD in Ecology and Evolution. Research interests include bird and mammal conservation, tropical community ecology, functional diversity, landscape ecology, disease ecology, and ecosystem functions provided by biodiversity. Nowadays, I am investigating diversity patterns in scavenger communities and scavenging efficiency in ecosystems across the world.

INTRODUÇÃO: Plantas epífitas representam um importante componente das florestas tropicais. Dentre elas, bromélias destacam-se como um grupo chave na maioria dos ecossistemas neotropicais, dado sua provisão de microhabitats, sítios de reprodução e forrageio para invertebrados, anfíbios e algas, bem como esses organismos residentes servem de alimento...
The loss of interactions and ecosystem functions is a concerning by‐product of pervasive Anthropocene species decline and extinction. Ecological interactions between species sustain the provision of ecosystem processes, especially those mediated by trophic relationships such as pollination and predation. At the local habitat scale, the diversity of...
A atual perda global de biodiversidade tem ameaçado a provisão de água
potável para abastecimento público, sobretudo por causa da perda de florestas nativas. Assim, uma compreensão dos impactos da redução de cobertura vegetal em paisagens degradadas por atividades humanas é uma ação importante para garantir segurança hídrica. O presente estudo aval...
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest of Southern Bahia is a megadiverse region given its remarkable number of species and endemism. Despite being a priority region for biodiversity conservation, the role of protected and unprotected forest remnants for long-term species conservation is unknown. Here, we unveil the main patterns of occurrence and distribut...
Os sistemas agroflorestais, que combinam árvores nativas com plantações, são considerados poderosos aliados para aumentar a produção de alimentos sem ameaçar a biodiversidade, tão afetada pela agricultura convencional. Mas, apesar de as agroflorestas terem reais vantagens para a conservação, a diversidade de espécies nesses ambientes não equivale à...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropica...
Threatened species are frequently difficult to monitor, leading to a lack of information for the selection of the best conservation strategies. A case in point is the Red-billed Curassow (Crax blumenbachii, Cracidae, Galliformes), whose populations have declined due to deforestation of the northern Atlantic Forest and increased poaching in the late...
Cacao agroforestry have been considered as biodiversity‐friendly farming practices by maintaining habitats for a high diversity of species in tropical landscapes. However, little information is available to evaluate whether this agrosystem can maintain functional diversity, given that agricultural changes can affect the functional components, but n...
Primates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, and emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate specie...
