Graduate Program in Biodiversity (PPGBio)

Presentation

Graduate Program on Biodiversity  (PPGBio) concentrates on two research lines: 1) Species and ecosystem diversity; and 2) Biodiversity use and conservation. Both represent a continuum of theoretical and applied topics associated to the patterns and processes underlying biodiversity distribution, conservation and sustainable use. Additionally, PPGBio emphasizes Northeastern Brazil ecosystems which area already heavly anthropogenically disturbed. Consequently, PPGBio develops research targeting ecosystem characterization and functioning, ecological and evolutive processes, sustainalbe use and management of biodiversity through the colective wisdom of researchers with experiance on Taxonomy, Ecology, Biogeography, Plant Biology, Animal Biology, Genetics and Biodiversity Conservation.
