LABEF - UFPR

I am an ecologist with special interest on the assembly of communities at varying spatial and temporal scales. I use both trait- and phylogeny-based approaches to address niche- and history-related questions in community ecology. Most of my studies address questions from local to regional spatial scales, but I also have experience working with macroecological scales. I am interested in Ecology from purely theoretical questions linked to functional ecology, community assembly and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) to conservation and restoration issues. I am enthusiastic about the Araucaria Mixed Forest and the mosaics it forms with South Brazilian grasslands.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Ecology and Conservation at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR).

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology, a Master's degree in Ecology and Conservation, and a Ph.D. in Botany from UFPR. My research focuses on identifying priority areas for Atlantic Forest restoration, with an emphasis on climate change mitigation. I am currently conducting postdoctoral research supported by a CNPq Human Resources Development Fellowship (Fixação de Recursos Humanos – Level E).

Biologist, Master in Botany at UFV and PhD student at the Graduate Program in Ecology and Conservation at UFPR.  I am interested in the conservation and assembly mechanisms of native grassland communities in Brazil. I’ve been using trait-based approaches to understand how abiotic and biotic factors select species based on their ecological strategies. My PhD is funded by a Capes-Brazil scholarship.​

Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Acre (UFAC), Master's degree in Ecology and Management of Natural Resource also from UFAC. Currently, I'm a PhD student in the Ecology and Conservation postgraduate program at UFPR. My project involves the use of satellite technology (Sentinel) for mapping Araucaria Mixed Forests, alongside machine learning and field research to identify priority preservation areas, estimate CO2 stored in the Araucaria Mixed Forest, and map remaining areas and their degradation stages. My PhD is funded by a Capes-Brazil scholarship.​​

Biology major at the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR), specialization (lato sensu) in Biodiversity (PUCPR), with a master's degree in Ecology and Conservation (UFPR), and currently a doctoral student in the same program. My research focuses on plant community ecology, aiming at the conservation and restoration of the diversity and ecosystem services of the Araucaria Mixed Forest, especially carbon stocks.

​

Biologist graduated from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). Currently, I am a Master's student in the Graduate Program in Ecology and Conservation at UFPR, where I conduct research on the dynamics of transition ecosystems between native grasslands and Araucaria forests. My work focuses on the assessment of ecosystem service trade-offs, with an emphasis on water regulation and carbon sequestration.

I am a Master's student in the Graduate Program in Ecology and Conservation at UFPR. I hold a major in Ecology and Biodiversity and a minor in Environmental Science from the University of Waikato. My research focuses on functional ecology and the ecophysiology of vegetation in areas affected by extreme events. Specifically, I investigate the functional traits and the mitigation potential of vegetation colonizing areas impacted by the 2024 floods in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. My Master's research is supported by a scholarship from Fundação Araucária.
