Brazil has about 2,000 species of amphibians and reptiles, several of which are endangered, which entails an enormous responsibility for our Country to conserve them. In this project, as a way to contribute to the conservation of amphibians and squamate reptiles, with an emphasis on Brazil, we will develop, in close collaboration with the National Center for Research and Conservation of R…
To understand the main factors structuring biodiversity is a major challenge in ecology. It is possible to test multiple structuring processes, including biogeographical, ecological and neutral, from recent theoretical and analytical advances in metacommunity ecology. Species diversity is often treated as a representative property of community structure, and more widely of metacommunities…
We aim to describe phylogenetic, biogeographic and ecological patterns of snakes while focusing mainly on the Neotropical fauna. Further, we will explore the evolutionary processes involved in the origin of these patterns. We will use a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the evolution of the species throughout a time interval that extends from the Cretaceous to the Recent. The proj…
Snakes are interesting models for biogeographical studies due to their morphological characteristics and widegeographical distribution. The families Viperidae (~370 species) and Dipsadidae (~810 species) occur in both theOld and New World. They occupy different ecological niches, habitats, latitudes, and altitudes, being, therefore,ideal models for biogeographical studies in these regions…
Critical evaluation of the effectiveness of the current conservation tools is an important step for conservation planning. Herein, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the Brazilian PA network for the conservation of the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of Brazilian snakes. We will use cutting-edge methods on gap analysis in conservation.
Understanding species distribution patterns in space and time and historical and contemporary processes influencing species distribution can help in biodiversity management and conservation plans. In order to evaluate the degree of conservation of the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest, the aim is identify climatic refuges of amphibians and snakes in the Atlantic Forest for present and f…
Communities can be defined as populations occurring together across time and space, and the processes related to the permanence of these populations are studied from the assembly of communities. The biodiversity can be measured by differents methods, such as alpha-diversity and phylogenetic diversity. Methods based on phylogenies can infer processes of assembly of communities, showing dif…

Snakes are interesting subjects for biogeographic study due to their variation in morphological traits and geographical distribution. Vipers (Viperidae family) are among the most well-known snakes on the planet, with ca. 380 species described occurring in both Old and New World. The New World landscapes have changed significantly throughout the time of the Viperidae diversification (last …
The study of geographic patterns of species distribution at different spatial and temporal scales is one of the interests of biogeography. Understanding the spatial distribution of species helps us comprehend biogeographic patterns generated by ecological and evolutionary processes. Multiple aspects impact geographic patterns of species distribution, including i) species interactions, ii)…
Biological diversity can be defined as the variety and abundance of species in a defined place. It could be measured by its species number (alpha diversity) and the phylogenetic diversity. The functional diversity could be defined as the component of diversity that influences the ecosystem, generally measured from functional characteristics of organisms. In chorus systems presented by dif…
