- Popularization of the research activities of the animal Biology Department of Unicamps Institute of Biology, BP.JC
Abstract
Science popularization in developing countries like Brazil faces the consequences of deficient educational systems, because the inherent challenges of communicating complex scientific topics are extrapolated by society's poor understanding of science and its methods. This difficulty of dealing with a deficient educational system is exactly one of the main factors that give urgency to sc...
- The role of immigration on diversification dynamics of North American mammals, BP.PD
Abstract
Understanding the role of different mechanisms in shaping diversity dynamics is a major challenge in ecology and evolution. The diversity in a given region depends on the balance between speciation, extinction and migration rates. Despite a great amount of effort devoted to understand the role of the rates of speciation and extinction in diversification, we still know little about the r...
- Modeling the ecological determinants of macroevolutionary dynamics, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
A recurrent pattern found in the fossil record is the replacement of entire clades by ecologically similar lineages. These phenomena suggest ecological interactions between taxa in different clades may interfere with the evolutionary dynamics of a given lineage. In this project we propose to develop diversification models that include mechanistic components likely to underlie these macr...
