Luísa G. Carvalheiro (PI)

did her first degree in Biology at the University of Lisbon (Portugal, 2002) and PhD at the University of Bristol (UK, 2008). After she worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pretoria/SANBI (South Africa, 2008-2010), the University of Leeds (UK, 2010-2015) & University of Brasilia (Brazil, 2015-2017). From 2010-2016 she was linked to Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Netherlands) as a guest researcher. Currently, she works as an Adjunct Professor at Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG, Brazil), also linked to CE3C (University of Lisbon, Portugal). She acts as an associated Editor for Global Change Biology and the Journal of Neotropical Biology and was included in the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researchers List in 2018.

Carla Faleiro Tinoco (PhD)

graduated  in ecology and environmental analysis (UFG, 2014), has a MSc in ecology (UnB, 2017) and did her PhD (Dec 2022) in our lab where she studied how landscape and soil chemical properties affect ecological interactions (pollination and herbivory) and the success of ecological restoration actions .  She conducted an experiment in which seedlings of species used for ecological restoration in the Cerrado receive different levels of fertilization and undertake field trips to evaluate restored Cerrado areas in the upper Xingú basin. 

She was involved in the EUCLIPO project (Effect of EUtrophication and CLimate on POllinators and ecosystem service provision, 2018-2021)

From March 2023 to Feb 2024 she will continue to develop her research through a posdoc in FlowerLab University of Coimbra linked to the RESICLIM project.

Nicholas Mazzei (MSc)

is a biologist with a master degree in animal biodiversity (UFG/Brazil, 2018). He is mainly interested in macroecoloy, spatial modeling and paleobiology in general. His current research is focused on the macroecological aspects of the relationship among bees body size and other life-history traits such as sociability and dietary preferences under different environmental conditions. He works at the Community Ecology Lab under supervision of Luísa, with professor Fabrício Villalobos as co-supervisor.

Waira Saravia Machida (MSc) 

is a Japanese-Bolivian Ph.D. student, master in ecology (UnB, 2021), and graduated in biology (UnB, 2019). She's interested in plant ecology, functional ecology, and morphometric geometrics. She´s currently interested in the effects of vegetation structure on pollinator communities. 

Her PhD project is linked to the RESICLIM project, and also linked to the project "Tropical forests responses to a changing climate: a quest at the interface between trait-based ecology, forest dynamics and remote sensing" led by Jesus Aguirre-Gutierrez (Oxford University), who cosupervises her PhD.

Luiz Henrique Oliveira (MSc)

is graduated in biology (2019) by Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (PUC Goiás) where he studied Morphometry / Soil use in hidrografic basins. He did is M.Sc student in the lab (2022) where he evaluated how floral resources and frutification are affected by differents inputs of nutrients and he is now doing is PhD to further explore how such impacts propagate to higher trophic levels and change through space. He likes to play rpg games, watch animes, practice Krav magá and in his free times programming in python.

Poliana P. Menezes 

is graduated in Ecology and Environmental Analysis (Federal University of Goiás - UFG, 2023) and currently a MSc student in Ecology & Evolution (UFG). She is interested in evaluating the influence of cerrado vegetation structure and the availability of floral resources on bee communities. His research focuses on the Emas National Park in Goiás, an important conservation area in the Cerrado biome in Brazil.

Ludmila S. Resende

did his first degree in Ecology and Environmental Analysis (Federal University of Goiás - UFG, 2021) and is currently a MSc student in Ecology and Evolution (UFG). She is interested in applied ecology and is currently studying the relationships between crop pollinator functional traits and the spatial distribution of pollination ecosystem services, focusing on the vulnerability of small and large agricultural producers to environmental changes in the Cerrado biome.

Patrick Menezes Consorte

Is graduated in ecology and environmental analysis (UFG, 2022), he is interested in understanding the ecology and distribution of native bees. He is currently doing is MSc  in the lab evaluating pollinator limitation and dependency in cocumber plantations. He is also interested in estimating the bee diversity in Brazil biomes and helping  organizing the laboratory bee collection.

Bruno F. Marques

is graduated in Biology (2021) did is MSc. student in Ecology and Evolution (UFG, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brazil). He's interested mainly on the effects of global environmental changes on biodiversity, agroecology and restoration ecology, with a focus on the ecology of bees. He is currently working as a technician in the lab, helping organizing the bee collection and also investigating patterns of change on the functional structure of bee communities in biomes in Brazil along big temporal and spatial scales, as well as the effects of bee attributes on pollination efficiency. In the free time, he likes biking and practicing capoeira.
