(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-07-03)
The composition of aquatic subterranean fauna is influenced by different factors, such as evolutionary history, habitat heterogeneity, environmental gradients, interspecific interactions, and species dispersion. The present ...
Padrões macroevolutivos do tamanho do cérebro e tipos de ninhos em passeriformes
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-08-28)
Birds and mammals have increased cognitive abilities and selective forces favoring complex behavioral skills are considered important drivers of brain evolution. A tractable way to infer about evolutionary pathways shaping ...
Tendências altitudinais na diversidade de Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonoidea) com ênfase na subfamília Pimplinae em área de Mata Atlântica da Serra do Japi, Jundiaí, SP.
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-08-29)
The objective of this work was to evaluate the diversity of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonoidea), with emphasis on the subfamily Pimplinae at three different altitudes in the Serra do Japi Biological Reserve, Jundiaí, ...
Mountain ranges and geographical isolation increase bird taxonomic but not phylogenetic beta diversity in the megadiverse Paramo ecosystems
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-08-29)
Understanding present-day biodiversity of Neotropical mountain regions requires knowledge of its historical and ecological conditions. We evaluated how Andean uplift, Quaternary climatic oscillations, current climate, and ...
Influência de processos ecológicos e evolutivos na estruturação de comunidades de anfíbios na Mata Atlântica Brasileira
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-05-31)
My thesis is composed of two independent chapters, but together they provide a theoretical framework of the ecological and evolutionary processes responsible for the anuran community structure in the Brazilian Atlantic ...
Estudo comportamental de beija-flores (Aves, Trochilidae) e seus recursos florais em São Carlos, SP, Brasil
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-06-17)
Hummingbirds have a strong relationship with plants. They are animals specialized in the consumption of floral nectar and play an important role in the pollination of neotropical plants. The spatial and temporal availability ...

and nesting. These sites also receive ...
Biotic factors drive bacterioplankton community in a tropical coastal site of the equatorial atlantic ocean
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-09-01)
The relationship between latitude and microbial diversity in the ocean is
