Birthplace: Panamá

I have a degree in Plant Biology or Botany from the University of Panama (2014) and worked as a research assistant at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama from 2013 to 2018. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Plant Biology at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) (2018-2025). My experience includes plant taxonomy and ecophysiology, with a particular focus on seedling physiology and the hydraulic systems of angiosperms. In addition, I have expertise in developing potential distribution maps for CITES-listed species, collaborating on the creation of potential distribution maps for species of the genera Cedrela, Dipteryx, Handroanthus, and Tabebuia. I have also contributed to data analysis and the integration of RADAMBRASIL databases, the study of tropical wood anatomy and its relationship with hydraulic traits, as well as dendrochronology studies on Swietenia macrophylla (Meliaceae).

Abstract
Climate change will affect global ecosystems; there is a pressing need for evaluation of its possible damaging effects on different trophic levels, especially for plant species. Analysis of the annual demarcation of tree rings on the secondary xylem allows us to examine environmental influence on the performance of trees over periods of time relevant in the past. Stable carbon isotopes en…

Abstract
In the Amazon, approximately 227 species of trees are considered hyper-dominant, which have a significant influence on biomass and the carbon cycle. This hyper-dominance is the result of life history and different ecological strategies, which can vary within species and are modulated by the effect of environmental stresses, with water stress being a major modulator. Functional traits are …
