Estudo indica que apesar de 95% das espécies de mamíferos descobertas entre 1990 e 2025 serem nativas de países do chamado Sul Global, 60% dos seus holótipos - exemplares que servem de referência para nomear novas espécies - estão depositados em instituições do Norte Global. agencia.fapesp.br/58688

Maioria das espécies de mamíferos descobertas no Sul desde 1990 está depositada no Norte

Estudo brasileiro analisou o destino de 1.116 espécies descritas nos últimos 35 anos e propõe medidas para evitar a chamada “ciência de paraquedas”

We published a new study in npj Biodiversity showing how geopolitical inequalities continue to shape biodiversity documentation of new mammal species 🦇🐒🦥📚 🌐. Follow the thread 🧵(1/9)! @mmoroti.bsky.social @karolceron.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com @agenciafapesp.bsky.social

Biodiversity material remains where capacity and governance are strong, but taxonomic resources concentrate with geopolitical power https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.23.734087v1

#Estudos sobre novas espécies da Europa e EUA usam mais técnicas descritivas, como ferramentas genéticas e análise da anatomia interna por tomografia computadorizada, por exemplo, e consequentemente #descrições podem ser menos contestadas posteriormente

Países tropicais têm maior biodiversidade, mas desigualdade financeira com ricos limita robustez de estudos

Das 1.116 descrições de novas espécies de mamíferos realizadas entre 1990 e 2025, quase 90% foram de animais de países tropicais. Todavia, estudos da Europa e EUA usam mais técnicas descritivas, como ...

Genetic diversity shapes climate-driven species redistribution: 🚨Genetic diversity slows species range shifts, especially at the trailing edge and under rapid climate change—consistent with the evolutionary rescue hypothesis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Genetic Diversity Impacts Climate‐Induced Species Range Shifts

Genetic diversity may buffer species against climate-driven range contractions and facilitate expansions, but its role at a global scale remains unclear. Using 4673 range shift estimates for 1888 spe...

The last paper of my PhD is out! Together with @duarteldas.bsky.social and Gabriel Nakamura, we investigated how in situ diversification and lineage dispersal have shaped assemblage level diversity in the Atlantic Forest. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed meth...

Why do some islands have more biodiversity than others? In our new paper, published in @ecography.bsky.social , we sought to answer this question for amphibians! 🌐🏝️🐸 @provete.bsky.social @agenciafapesp.bsky.social @wileyecology.bsky.social Follow the thread 🧵(1/7).

Ever wondered what comes first in evolution: changes in climatic niche or changes in morphology? Does climate pull species, or do organisms evolve first and then shift their niches? This is one of macroevolution’s most persistent open questions.

TIBS 2026 conference was a great opportunity to keep disseminating the @peeer.bsky.social initiative and to present the field's New, Diamond 💎 Open Access journal @biogeographyjfab.bsky.social Grateful to Michael N. Dawson for the leadership and trust to co-lead this new endeavour #TIBS2026

It was an honor to participate and present my work at the @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social. Thank you to the organizing committee for an excellent event and for the opportunity to exchange ideas with so many inspiring researchers. Until next time!

It's great to be here for the first time! The international Biogeography Society - 12th Biennial Conference
