Multiple large-scale forest restoration strategies are emerging globally to combat ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. However, these strategies often remain insufficient to compensate for the loss caused by anthropogenic development. At least two reasons could explain this incomplete performance: i) we ignore how human disturbance affects the genetic variability of species and t…
Pastures and sugarcane are economically important crops, with genetic complexities that restrict the availability of genomic resources and make the selection process slower and more complicated than in other important agricultural species. Food production and also bio-based resources face constant abiotic and biotic challenges, and sustainable practices and environmentally-friendly soluti…
Whole genome variations of the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) and its microbial interactions in Amazonian archaeological sites to improve ecosystem recovery. (AU)
The recent progress in new sequencing technologies has fomented projects with the goal of obtaining the genome sequence of non-model organisms. Despite its economical and ecological importance, several groups of plants are underrepresented in those efforts, particularly the group of palms. In the Arecaceae family, the genus Attalea is specially important because of the ecological plastici…
An estimated 60% of the world's agricultural supply depends on animal pollination for improved crop quantity, quality, and stability, worth an estimated US$300 billion annually. Bees are the primary pollinators of flowering plants, and provide vital reproductive services for both wild and cultivated plant species, thus they are critical for maintaining natural ecosystem function and globa…

Dyckia spp. are xenomorphic bromeliads, whose center of diversity is the Campos Rupestres of Serra do Espinhaço, in the state of Minas Gerais. Despite its great diversity, most of the species in the region are threatened by mining and farming activities. In addition, the low morphological heterogeneity between species and the absence of records in herbariums, makes its identification a ch…

The drastic decline of bees, be they native or exotic, is an imminent threat to ecosystem services of pollination, and consequently to world food security and the preservation and conservation of natural resources. Several factors have been associated with this decline, among them the use of insecticides deserves mention since Brazil is the world's largest consumer of pesticides. Thus, th…
Currently, the Macaw palm oil (Acrocomia aculeata) is obtained from vegetal extraction in natural populations that have a big genetic variability. To improve the Macaw palm productivity, a breeding program can significantly increase oil and biofuels production as well as can enable large-scale production of plants. Production of Macaw palm in large-scale can still enables the commercializ…

Multiple large-scale forest restoration strategies are emerging globally to counteract ecosystems degradation and biodiversity loss. However, these strategies often remain insufficient to offset the loss caused by anthropogenic development. In this project, we propose to investigate the adaptative potential of the Brazil nut tree, a species that key roles in the structure of forest and th…
The Brazilian stingless bee Melipona scutellaris do specific pollination, the buzz pollination, and is a key species that pollinate economically important crops. However, despite its importance, the M. scutelarris population is decreasing both in number and original distribution putting them on the red list of ICMBio of endangered species. One of the main causes for this decline is the ex…
Among the most important and more elaborate steps in population genomics study of plant species using Next Generation Sequencing are processing and data analysis. This process requires addition of advanced computational resources, knowledge and domain-specific Bioinformatics tools to the techniques applied in this project. In Brazil, this area has been underexplored and lacks researchers …
Global climate changes (GCC) are alterations on the climate properties whose causes may still be questioned but whose biological effects are unquestionable. Despite of its impact on living beings, they and the velocity of these changes is heterogeneous regarding the organism and the ecosystem, for example, mangrove forests are projected to be one of the most influenced environments. Recen…
