Bruno Vilela de Moraes e Silva

Professor of Ecology at the Federal University of Bahia. My research integrates biodiversity, evolution, conservation and data science to understand large-scale patterns of life and develop open tools for the scientific community.

Research Program

Broad ecological questions, rigorous quantitative methods.

The group combines ecological theory, large biodiversity databases, spatial modelling and open software to study biodiversity from local to global scales.
