Thaís Guedes is a biodiversity researcher at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) and also a researcher associate at the University of Gothenburg (The Antonelli Lab). My research interest is to understand the patterns of distribution of biodiversity and how geological and climatic events have worked to shape these patterns along the time. I am investigating these subjects on a broad scale, especially on amphibians and reptiles, with implications for conservation (www.tbguedes.com). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Trans-disciplinary biogeography is the ideal science to understand patterns and processes that generated and maintain groups of highly complex and diverse organisms, such as amphibians and reptiles (herpetofauna), especially those that inhabit tropical regions of the globe. Advances in recent decades allowed for the huge accumulation of data on herpetofauna and important discoveries. Howe…
Identifying knowledge gaps is an important factor in designing effective conservation strategies. These scientific shortfalls can be indicated by deficits known to science as Wallacean (i.e., geographic distribution), Darwinian (i.e., evolutionary relationships), Linnean (i.e., taxonomic knowledge), among others. Such gaps are caused by sampling biases that can be explained by some aspect…
The emergence of the "Alphonse Richard Hoge" snake collection is intertwined with the history of the founding of the Butantan Institute itself, in 1901. Since its inception, it has been an active and continually growing collection. For a long time it was considered one of the most prominent collections in the world and certainly the most significant in the Neotropical region, with around …
The so-called Mid-North region of Brazil, located mainly in the state of Maranhão, extends from the 6 degrees south, 42 to the 46 west and is limited by the Atlantic Ocean to the North. The region has a complex landscape, due to the contact between the Caatinga, Amazon and Cerrado biomes, the latter a biodiversity hotspot. It brings together unique phytogeographic and climatological chara…

The Caatinga green snake, Erythrolamprus viridis (Serpentes: Dipsadidae), is terrestrial and widely distributed in the Caatinga, where it is considered an endemic species. It is an oviparous species that preferentially feeds on amphibians. Recently, distribution data for the species were made available by Guedes et al., 2014 and Nogueira et al., 2018, however we do not have detailed infor…
The organisms show individual geographic distribution patterns that not result of chance. Several past and current events are responsible for the presence of sets of taxa in a given area. The accumulation of events over time makes the reconstruction of the history of the spatial distribution of the biota a complex activity that can be explored in the light of historical biogeography. This…
The identification of natural biogeographical regions is fundamental for comparisons in broad-scale ecological and evolutionary studies, and constitutes an essential tool for conservation planning. Several recent ecological and biogeographical studies have attempted to delimit bioregions at both global and local scales, and there is a long history of regionalization schemes proposed for t…
