We seek to understand such variation on a broad range of metrics (e.g., alpha, beta and functional diversity) and test major predictions from ecological and evolutionary theories. Research topics:
Humans affect biodiversity in different ways. Quantifying major threats to biodiversity and understanding mechanisms involving human impacts is key to guide large scale conservation polices. Research topics:
Our focus is on freshwater organisms (mainly fish) but studies on other taxa and ecosystems are welcomed as long as they test clear theoretical predictions. Research topics:
Modeling, simulations and the development of new tools/frameworks is part of scientific research. We encourage students to be proficient on these tools and create their own models.
