Professor of Ecology at the Federal University of Bahia. My research explores how ecological, evolutionary, and environmental processes shape biological and cultural diversity across the globe. By combining biodiversity science, conservation, and data science, I seek to understand large-scale patterns of life and develop open tools that make ecological research more accessible and reproducible.
Six connected research lines organize the lab's work on biodiversity, evolution, climate change, conservation, cultural systems and open quantitative methods.
Broad patterns of diversity, distribution and evolutionary history across continental and global scales.
Explore research lineClimatic niches, organism-environment interactions, adaptation, biological invasions and potential distributions.
Explore research lineClimate scenarios, species vulnerability, potential redistribution and environmental refugia.
Explore research lineEcological evidence to guide biodiversity protection, protected areas and extinction-risk reduction.
Explore research lineRelationships among ecology, geography, cultural diversity, agriculture and social organization.
