Abstract

The visit of Dr. Pedro Jordano, one of the most respected ecologists of our time, with key contributions to the understanding of plant-animal interaction networks, seed dispersal ecology and biodiversity, aims to consolidate long-standing collaborations with a fruitful history of scientific production between the research groups involved, now brought together under the aegis of the CEPID Project of the Center for Biodiversity and Climate Change Research at UNESP funded by FAPESP (CEPID - CbioClima), in which both Dr. Jordano and the Principal Investigator are collaborators. During his brief visit, Dr. Jordano will participate in teaching, mentoring and research activities. (AU)
