Population heterogeneity has fundamental implications for adaptative phenotype fitness along environmental gradients. Genomic information in combination with functional attributes information, like ecophysiological tolerances and local adaptation, as well as to ecological niches, are of great importance for understanding species distribution in natural environment, both at present as in f…
Neotropics encompass large number of hotspot regions to conservation, however the knowledge about patters and process responsible to shape its outstanding biodiversity are still emerging. Multidisciplinary approaches such as, systematics, phylogeography, population genetics and genomics, ecology and morphometry can significantly contribute to identify important evolutionary processes in g…
The understanding of the processes leading to the diversification of lineages and the appearance of new species is particularly important in the world's biodiversity hotspots. Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) approaches, as restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-Seq), have shown promise for studying such processes, even when it involves non-model organisms. In this work, we will us…

The geographical distribution of species is related to physiological tolerances along environmental gradients. Temperature, in particular, is the abiotic variable that most affects the performance of organisms along altitudinal gradients. Therefore, organisms located at higher and lower altitudes may present higher tolerance to cold and heat, respectively. Such stratification may also res…
Located in the Neotropical region, the Atlantic Forest is the second largest tropical rainforest in South America. It is formed by a complex of vegetation and various types of plant communities, being among the top five biodiversity hotspots in the world. The Bromeliaceae family presents this region as one of its main centers of diversification and has a high number of endemic species. Pi…
Beta diversity is based on species identity differences between communities/localities, and is important for community ecology theory, biogeographic studies, and for defining sampling voids and systematic conservation planning. This proposal will model the taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity of tree species on Amazonian forests and mapping they spatial distribution to infer the rela…

The longitudinal tree species diversity gradient is a striking biodiversity pattern in Amazonia - western forests are more diverse than eastern forests. Western Amazonia was dominated by a mega-wetland ecosystem for at least 10 Ma during part of the Neogene. Since floods impose eco-physiological restrictions for trees, such wetland habitats can be considered non-ideal habitats for tree sp…
Biodiversity is a common good of global concern. Nonetheless, much of the life on Earth is threatened by both local and global human actions. The steep increase of biodiversity loss is not accompanied by the same pace of our understanding of biodiversity distribution and evolution. Australian researchers and institutions are at the frontier of biodiversity assessment, producing much valua…
