- 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 mor...
- Dimensions US-BIOTA-Sao Paulo: traits as predictors of adaptive diversification along the Brazilian Dry Diagonal, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
The Dry Diagonal (DD) contains a number of environments including the Caatinga and Cerrado that span over 1/3 the area of Brazil, as well as the Chaco of northern Argentina. Because of its perceived lower biodiversity for many taxa than in better known biomes such as the Amazon basin and the Atlantic forest, evolutionary processes in the DD have received much less attention from biolog...
- 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 relations...

- 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 us...

- Assessing the functional microbes for methane transformation in Amazonian soils, BP.IC
Abstract
In this proposal, integrated to the project "Dimensions US-BIOTA-São Paulo: Integrating dimensions of microbial biodiversity across land use change in tropical forests" (FAPESP 2014/50320-4), the trainee will be involved in the project targeting the functional microbial groups related to methane cycling in Amazonian soils. The student will support the work developed by the postdoctoral ...
- Adaptive genomic signatures in cereus (Cactaceae) From the Brazilian Dry Diagonal, BP.DD
Abstract
The Dry Diagonal is a corridor of open dry formations that separates the Amazon forest from the Atlantic forest in South America. Despite the high biodiversity, the mechanisms related to the ecological speciation in these xeromorphic environments are still poorly understood. The use of genomic data integrated with phenotypic and environmental variations stands out as a potential strateg...

Abstract
The Cerrado is a patchwork of phytophysiognomies with dominance of savannah, placed in the Dry Diagonal, wide corridor in the center of the Neotropical region. Relate with one of the major world's hotspots to preservation and conservasion, with the minor percentage of protected areas in Brazil. It has 2,000,000 Km2 of size (24% of the brazilian territory), and high since sea level until...
