- Dimensions US-São Paulo: animal biases in fruit selection and seed dispersal as drivers of biotic filters in the assembly of successional forests and their carbon capture potential, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
Tropical forests play a major role in regulating the earth's climate through their effects on water cycles and their immense capacity to sequester and store atmospheric carbon. Because of their global preeminence and the threats they face, understanding the mechanisms governing community assembly, biodiversity, resilience, and emergent ecosystem functions of tropical forests is urgent. Fr…
- Dimensions US-BIOTA-São Paulo: more to the blow fly than meets the eye: understanding evolutionary and genetic origins of diverse trophic specializations, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
Flies are diverse models for studying the evolution of the parasitic habit. With 1,256 described species, blow flies (family Calliphoridae) are an ideal candidate for comparative study of the genetic and behavioral determinants of feeding adaptations. Based on feeding habits of their larvae, blow flies are classified as either: 1) necrosaprophagous, which feed on decomposing tissue; 2) fa…
- Collaborative research: Dimensions US-São Paulo: integrating phylogeny, genetics, and chemical ecology to unravel the tangled bank of the multipartite fungus-farming ant symbiosis, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
Overview: Species interactions can drive diversification. This is particularly true in cases of coevolved symbioses, where coevolutionary processes can lead to the generation and maintenance of novel functional and genetic diversity as organisms respond to each over microevolutionary timescales. Furthermore, such evolutionary coupling can lead to taxonomic diversification, as one or more …

- 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…
- Structure and evolution of the Amazonian biota and its environment: an integrative approach, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
We propose a new evolutionary and environmental synthesis of Amazonian biodiversity that will seek to answer 11 key research questions on 4 target-taxa (butterflies, plants, birds, primates): Question 1 asks where biodiversity is distributed in Amazônia. We will develop the most complete georeferenced database to date for Amazonian vascular plants and terrestrial vertebrates and then use …

- Identification of phenotypes associated to adaptation in Ischnothele (Araneae, Ischnothelidae) on Brazilian dry diagonal, BP.IC
Abstract
In South America there are two large humid forests, the Amazon Forest and the Atlantic Forest, divided by a diagonal of hot and dry climate domains, called eastern dry diagonal, with origin in the middle Miocene. In Brazil, the diagonal is composed by Cerrado and Caatinga. To survive in these environments, organisms have phenotypes associated with adaptations. Among the invertebrates that…
