Andrés is investigating patterns and processes underlying intraspecific interactions among antswarm follower birds and on seed dispersal networks. In his free time, he will likely be found biking, reading or enjoying 'asado' and dark beer with friends and family (including Ziggy, at the right)

Marcos studies how climate change may impact the co-occurrence of key frugivores and plants in Southern Brazil. At his undegrad interactions among plants and flower-dwelling mites that use hummingbirds to move from flower to flower. 

Bruna is investigating how fruit and seed traits related to frugivory seed dispersal vary across large scales. She is also helping to create a fruit and seed collection form South Brazil.

Arthur is beginning to investigate frugivory interactions on a keystone plant species in S Brazil

Gabriel is beginning to use molecular tools to investigate frugivory interactions in Southern Brazil

Victor is helping to create a regional seed collection and is investigating seed dispersal by non-flying mammals.

Lis is a PhD student at UNESP.  She investigates processes shaping hawkmoth-plant interactions under the primary supervision of Dr. Felipe Amorim. 

Fernanda investigated which traits define keystone species in a seed dispersal network in Southern Brazil.

Ju investigated how individual traits in a plant population filter out the bird species that consume their seedse also loves birdwatching.

BSc in Biology - Andreza studied the structure of mutualistic hawkmoth-plant interactions and its drivers. Here results are published in Ecological Entomology
