<\/p>\n

We focus on the study of the diversity of terrestrial animals of the Neotropics, their evolution, natural history, ecology, and conservation. Research areas of interest include taxonomy, systematics, and natural history; space-time distribution and biogeography; ecology and physiology; and the analysis of the direct and indirect effects of the anthropogenic activities regarding the long-term conservation of species and their habitats. The research focuses mainly on terrestrial animals (birds, reptiles, amphibians, spiders, and insects). It uses taxonomic, phylogenetic, and biogeographic approaches and techniques, as well as the application of citizen science, geographic information systems, and environmental modeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
