Murilo Sversut Dias
Professor at the Ecology Department, Universidade de Brasília (UnB)
Faculty member of the Graduate Program in Ecology (PPG-Eco/UnB, CAPES level 6)
PhD in Ecology (Macroecology), MNHN-Paris, France (2012-2015). Associate Professor at UnB since 2016. My works focus on aquatic macroecology and biogeography with fish as major study model. I have experience in conducting large scale data analyses and simulations, and leading field work expeditions.

I seek proactive, independent students interested in major ecological and evolutionary theories.

Laís Salgueiro Ribeiro
I'm currently a PhD student interested in topics related to phylogenetic diversity and the mechanisms that determine diversity patterns at large spatial and temporal scales. Also, I am interested in incorporating phylogenetic information in biodiversity management and conservation actions.
My master’s degree project was entitled “Ecological and historical drivers of freshwater fish diversity patterns” in which I investigate the determinants of phylogenetic diversity and relatedness in assemblages of freshwater fish at the Amazon basin. You can check the resulting paper here (ResearchGate and Lattes profiles).
