Taxonomic and Functional Diversity in Bird and Mammal Communities from the Atlantic Forest
Taxonomic and Functional Diversity in Bird and Mammal Communities from the Atlantic Forest
This project is part of PELD-MANP, which is a Long Term Ecological Project that has the goal of understanding the dynamics of animals and plants in restoration sites in northern Paraná. We focus on understanding how taxonomic and functional diversity of birds and mammals are distributed along different ecological gradients and how landscape change is affecting biodiversity at the taxonomic and functional level.

Paraná Observatory of Non-Native and/or Invasive Species
Paraná Observatory of Non-Native and/or Invasive Species
The project is part of the NAPI Biodiversidade: Serviços Ecossistêmicos and examines non-native and invasive species in Paraná by reviewing scientific literature and databases to identify their occurrences and introduction pathways. Using ecological, health, and economic criteria, it will define the most harmful species and create educational materials. The project will also engage stakeholders to understand local impacts and needs. In addition, a digital tool and a citizen science protocol are being developed to encourage public participation in conserving Paraná’s biodiversity.

Techinological Innovations Aimed at the Digital Transformation of Data for Applications in the Conservation of Biodiversity in Paraná
Techinological Innovations Aimed at the Digital Transformation of Data for Applications in the Conservation of Biodiversity in Paraná
The project is part of the NAPI Biodiversidade: Serviços Ecossistêmicos and it develops tools for the automatization of biodiversity monitoring of birds and mammals using Passive Autonomous Monitoring (e.g., autonomous recorders and camera traps). We also develop innovative field protocols applied to biodiversity monitoring and/or testing of ecological hypothesis in the field.
Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity and the Ecological Foundations of the Paraná Territory
Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity and the Ecological Foundations of the Paraná Territory
This projetc is part of the NAPI Emergência Climática and its main goal is to evaluate the impacts that climate change will have the terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity of Paraná, as well as the effects on agriculture and ecological interactions. Part of this project is the development of compoutational tools (e.g., chooseGCM) to be used with Species Distribution Models (SDM) allowing better model prediction for future climatic scenarios.
