- 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…
- Understanding the role of stochasticity in metacommunity assembly under global changes, AP.R
Abstract
Understanding the organization of biodiversity on Earth has puzzled ecologists and biogeographers for centuries. For a long time, only part of these patterns around the globe was explained by deterministic processes related to environmental filters related to functional traits and biotic interactions, while much of the variation that disobeyed these rules were termed to be rather stochast…
- 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: 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 …

- Phylogeography of mandacaru cacti (Cereus Mill.: Cactaceae) associated with limestone rocky outcrops in eastern Brazil, BP.MS
Abstract
Within a species, populations may be connected to some degree, depending on the characteristics of the landscape where they occur. Connectivity brings variability to the demes, insofar as gene flow takes place among them. Such variation is important for the genetic viability of the species, especially when facing processes that may impose pressure over individuals, such as habitat loss, f…
