Introduction
I am a believer that Research and Education must go hand in hand towards building a better and more thinking society. Research, communicate, educate, change society. My experience in Science and in the classroom allows me to help Faculty Members at Educational Institutions across Latin America get the best of both worlds by integrating Research and Education and, ultimately promoting higher quality scientific teaching.

Climate change may exacerbate alien species expansion into previously unsuitable areas. This shift in species distributions can lead to mismatches between interacting species. We evaluated the potential worldwide distribution of the invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides, and its specialist herbivore, the flea beetle Agasicles hygrophila, under...
Phenotypic plasticity can determine the performance of exotic plants in environmental disturbance. Aquatic plants can adapt to the stress caused by water level fluctuations in the water level, water depth, or substrate nutrients through phenotypic plasticity. The high-potential invasiveness of Myriophyllum aquaticum in riparian wetlands may be asso...
Biological invasions and climate change are important drivers of biodiversity loss. In freshwater ecosystems, golden and zebra mussels are two highly aggressive invasive species that have caused ecological and economic damages in South and North America, respectively. Here, we used ecological niche models (ENMs) to investigate the invasive potentia...
The success of invasive species depends on the overcoming of abiotic and biotic filters. Abiotic variables likely have greater relative importance over invasion at broad spatial scales, while biotic interactions are more important at fine spatial scales. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that (i) the abundance of the invasive Hydrilla vertici...
The previously neglected herbivore-aquatic macrophyte interaction has received more attention from scientists in recent decades, especially in the context of biological invasions. However, there is still a great deal of work needed to improve scientific knowledge about this relationship, and to improve biological management and control techniques....
The last undammed stretch of the Upper Paraná River in the Brazilian territory is, to date, not completely inventoried, which rises concerns given the rapid rates of species extinctions.
Aim
Here, we provide an inventory of macrophyte taxa recorded in the last undammed 230 km stretch of the Upper Paraná River.
Methods
We inventoried macrophyte ta...
Seed passage through the guts of bats potentially influences germination in different ways: physically, chemically and biologically. To evaluate the influence of a Neotropical bat on the seed germination of four pioneer plant species, an experiment was conducted. Considering the positive influence of bats on germination and the possibility of obser...
