PhD. Student (co-advisor)

Brena Gonçalves

Study the biogeography and distribution of frogs in Amazonia. Trying to estimate where missing species are using theoretical models such as the neutral theory model.

Masters Student

André Fleck

What is the problem with monocultures? I investigate how exotic forest plantations affect species diversity compared to native plantations and natural habitats in a long-term (+60 yrs) experiment.

PhD Student

Felipe Cerezer

Investigates how diversification rates and biogeographic history determine the latitudinal gradient of diversity. Uses neutral and metabolic models.

PhD Student (co-advisor)

João Oliveira

Study how species colonization and extinction create spatial beta diversity patterns over time

Masters Student (co-advisor)

Vitor Hugo Vargas

Study how forest fragmentation affects bird singing from individuals (behavior) to populations (evolution) to communities (extinctions).

Samanta Pereira

Study the impact of urbanization on hummingbird-plant networks and on pollination.

Masters Student

Samia Letícia

Investigates how life-history traits, such as those associated with ontogeny, metamorphosis, determine species diversity. One of the questions in my study is: can metamorphosis in frogs reduce competition and allow more species to coexist in a community?
