Estudo indica que apesar de 95% das espécies de mamíferos descobertas entre 1990 e 2025 serem nativas de países do chamado Sul Global, 60% dos seus holótipos - exemplares que servem de referência para nomear novas espécies - estão depositados em instituições do Norte Global. agencia.fapesp.br/58688

Maioria das espécies de mamíferos descobertas no Sul desde 1990 está depositada no Norte
Estudo brasileiro analisou o destino de 1.116 espécies descritas nos últimos 35 anos e propõe medidas para evitar a chamada “ciência de paraquedas”

#Estudos sobre novas espécies da Europa e EUA usam mais técnicas descritivas, como ferramentas genéticas e análise da anatomia interna por tomografia computadorizada, por exemplo, e consequentemente #descrições podem ser menos contestadas posteriormente

Países tropicais têm maior biodiversidade, mas desigualdade financeira com ricos limita robustez de estudos
Das 1.116 descrições de novas espécies de mamíferos realizadas entre 1990 e 2025, quase 90% foram de animais de países tropicais. Todavia, estudos da Europa e EUA usam mais técnicas descritivas, como ...

Genetic diversity shapes climate-driven species redistribution: 🚨Genetic diversity slows species range shifts, especially at the trailing edge and under rapid climate change—consistent with the evolutionary rescue hypothesis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Genetic Diversity Impacts Climate‐Induced Species Range Shifts
Genetic diversity may buffer species against climate-driven range contractions and facilitate expansions, but its role at a global scale remains unclear. Using 4673 range shift estimates for 1888 spe...

Análise de dados de mais de 5 mil territórios e 1.924 espécies de sapos, rãs e pererecas mostra que duas das principais teorias sobre #biodiversidade de plantas, aves e mamíferos em #ilhas marinhas não explicam sozinhas a riqueza de #anfíbios anuros. agencia.fapesp.br/57463

The last paper of my PhD is out! Together with @duarteldas.bsky.social and Gabriel Nakamura, we investigated how in situ diversification and lineage dispersal have shaped assemblage level diversity in the Atlantic Forest. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed meth...

Why do some islands have more biodiversity than others? In our new paper, published in @ecography.bsky.social , we sought to answer this question for amphibians! 🌐🏝️🐸 @provete.bsky.social @agenciafapesp.bsky.social @wileyecology.bsky.social Follow the thread 🧵(1/7).

Ever wondered what comes first in evolution: changes in climatic niche or changes in morphology? Does climate pull species, or do organisms evolve first and then shift their niches? This is one of macroevolution’s most persistent open questions.

Today, I had the opportunity to present a little about myself and my career at the annual meet of the Biogeography and Climate Change department at @mncn-csic.bsky.social , where I will be doing a postdoctoral fellowship for a year with @jhortal.bsky.social
