Colaborators

Prof. Luiz dos Anjos (UEL)

We work on understanding the processes involved in the distribution of bird species in the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil and how these processes are affected by forest fragmentation. We investigate how to use beta diversity and functional diversity in the development of conservation strategies.

Prof. Fernando C. Jerep (UEL)

Prof. Jerep has introduced me to the fascinating world of fishes. I would say they are the second coolest taxa (after birds). We are currently studying the evolution of cannibalism in fishes .

Prof. Dayani Bailly Fernandes (UEM)

We use SDM to understand future impacts of climate change on biodiversity, we focus on developing computational tools and application of different machine learning algorythms to model the distribution of terrestrial and aquatic species.

Prof. Reginaldo Ré (UTFPR)

Reginaldo is a computational scientist and loves to develop software to help biologist with their day to day scientific challeges. He is focused on developing tools and application of machine learning in Species Distribution Models.

Dr. Luiz Fernando Esser (UEM)

He is an extremely talented scientist and we are lucky to have him working with us on the NAPI Emergência climática. He is helping us develop better computational tools to study the effects of climate change on brazilian biodiversity, as well as modeling several terrestrial and aquatic species. 

Prof. André Padial (UFPR)

We are working on developing the Observatory of non-native species of Paraná, where we are working on understanding different aspects of invasion ecology and taxonomic and funcitinal homogenization, while helping stakeholders deal with the impacts of invasive species in Paraná. 

Prof. Diego B. Gonçalves (UTFPR)

Works on using deep learning techniques to identify patterns. He is currently helping us develop better computational tools to work with camera trap videos and audio recordings from landscape bioacustics.

Prof. Juliano H. Foleiss (UTFPR)

Works with artificial inteliggence and artificial neural networks. He is currently helping us develop better computational tools to work with camera trap videos and audio recordings from landscape bioacustics.

Dr. Alan Fecchio (UNESP - Jaboticabal - FAPESP Scholarship)

We have been collaborating since our post-graduate course in Ecology at the University of Brasília. We are interesting in understanding the diversity drivers in avian malaria and their related haemosporidians.
