Bats and birds consume a variety of fruit species and are responsible to keep the frugivore and seed dispersal process in small fragments. The factors that increase the trait-matching of animal-plant interactions can be a fundamental tool for fragment regenerating since bats and birds show a complementation of their ecological services. Fruit signals meet with the main sense used by anima…
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…
Across the world old-growth forests are rapidly diminishing due to anthropogenic forest conversion. Simultaneously, forest recovery in human-modified landscapes has led to an increase of secondary forests, which may have the potential to mitigate loss of biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services. Human impacts regulate both tree and animal abundances, but in a different way, s…
Frugivory and seed dispersal play a critical role in shaping plant community assembly and genetic diversity in regenerating tropical forests. This project aims to evaluate how these processes influence seedling diversity, fitness, and genetic composition in newly assembled plant communities. Specifically, the postdoctoral researcher will analyze transcriptomic data, develop polymorphic ge…

The study of diet allows us to understand the feeding patterns and resource use by animals in natural environments, being a useful method to comprehend ecosystems and monitor environmental changes. Animals with a frugivorous diet can act as important seed dispersers, and therefore, the molecular analysis of their fecal samples constitutes a promising approach to investigate frugivory and …
