- Living on the edge: plant-animal interactions and the cascading impacts of Amazon Forest fragmentation, AP.TEM
Abstract
Widespread fragmentation of Amazon tropical forests magnifies the compounding effects of climate change and human disturbances and threatens one of the Earth's most diverse and important ecosystems. Fragmentation causes natural disturbances such as droughts, heat waves, and windthrows to interact in new ways with human-caused changes to land use, climate, fire, and defaunation along vulne…
- BoCP design: US-China-São Paulo: functional biodiversity in streams on a changing planet in tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates, AP.R
Abstract
Humans have altered the fundamental processes that maintain biodiversity by converting natural land cover for human uses, triggering Earth's sixth mass extinction. The effects of land cover change are arguably most acute in freshwater ecosystems, where aquatic insects have experienced precipitous global declines disproportional to other taxa. Yet despite decades of research, detection of …
- Land use change, ecosystem resilience and zoonotic spillover risk, AP.R
Abstract
Habitat loss and modification have been pointed out as the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Such biodiversity decline have profound cascading effects on the abundance, composition and ecology of fauna and flora, affecting species interactions and affecting ecological function and services. These impacts can affect human health and well-being through changes in disease regulation service…

- Dimensions US-BIOTA São Paulo: scales of biodiversity: integrated studies of snake venom evolution and function across multiple levels of diversity, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
This project will determine how secondary key innovations within the venom system contribute to diversification patterns in the advanced snakes and test for biases in the genetic pathways underlying rapid phenotypie evolution in venoms as a means for understanding the mechanism underlying the process of diversification in this diverse group. In the first part, we will test for relationshi…
- Dimensions US-Biota São Paulo: Chemically mediated multi-trophic interaction diversity across tropical gradients, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
Most known species are involved in chemically mediated plant-insect-parasitoid interactions, and recent syntheses point to a substantial gap in our understanding of trophic interaction diversity. This gap will be filled by our proposed research to examine (AU)
- Dimensions US-BIOTA - São Paulo: collaborative research: integrating dimensions of microbial biodiversity across land use change in tropical forests, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
Microorganisms drive the ecosystem processes on which all of life depends, yet we know much less about their biodiversity than we do for plants and animals. Microbial ecology is increasingly sophisticated in estimating the phylogenetic, genetic, and functional dimensions of microbial biodiversity, but integration of these dimensions has proven elusive. This project will combine recent adv…

- Temporal variation in macroinvertebrates communities in a tropical watershed, BP.TT
- Effects of fragmentation and forest fires on seed-dispersal networks and the feedbacks on plant functional diversity, BP.DD
Abstract
Changes in vegetation resulting from natural tree mortality, deforestation or forest fires may alter local animal assemblages, favoring the colonization of forest edges by species associated with open habitats and reducing occupancy by forest specialists. Such changes in animal occupancy patterns may reshape animal-plant interaction networks such that certain interactions are lost while n…

Abstract
Humans have altered the fundamental processes that maintain biodiversity by converting natural land cover for human uses, triggering Earth's sixth mass extinction. The effects of land cover change are arguably most acute in freshwater ecosystems, where aquatic insects have experienced precipitous global declines disproportional to other taxa.

- Effect of the microbiome on the behavior of necrophagous and parasitic blow flies species, BP.IC
Abstract
Calliphoridae, also known as blow flies, gain importance in public and animal health considering that several species can be mechanical vectors of a wide range of pathogens since they frequent inhospitable environments; additionally, some species are parasites (Marcondes and Thyssen, 2017). It has been observed that closely related blow fly species have very different eating habits. The i…
