Rarefaction on YouTube @standupmaths! Hat tip to Anne Chao et at. for the software (not sure if it's mentioned in the video, but I know the plots all too well 😉): youtu.be/TeY1fY0Bi_M?si=_BkM… For the R package, see: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

I'm glad that the main product of my postdoc at @usponline with a fellowship of @AgenciaFAPESP is finally published!
Good news! The newly published paper ‘Dispersal from Africa to the Neotropics was followed by multiple transitions across Neotropical biomes facilitated by frugivores’ in @annbot by @JeniferCLopes et al. is now #free for a limited time. botany.fyi/EO6eoe (1/8) #AoBpapers

One of the most symbolic papers of my career is now out. Here we describe two new species of Barbacenia (Velloziaceae), one in honor of my former supervisor and a great botanist, Renato Mello-Silva (in memoriam). 🌿🌱🍀🌴🌻🌺🌼 phytotaxa.mapress.com/pt/art…

Very proud of my MSc student @FriederikeWolke for leading this work @NewPhyt: Africa is unique when it comes to fruit size evolution - fruits evolve to be larger than elsewhere, possibly due to dispersal by megafauna 🐘 and Miocene savanna expansion🌴 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Thrilled to announce that the final chapter of my PhD has just been published in @GEB_macro. Why species richness is so unbalanced across the Earth? Here we explore the dramatic differences in lizard diversity among the world's main deserts 🦎🏜️🌏 doi.org/10.1111/geb.13470 ⬇️

Amigos da graduação, mestrado, doutorado etc. Fiz com muito carinho essa thread com ferramentas úteis para todo estudante. Aqui tem listas de links para criar apresentações, figuras e esquemas para um trabalho ou artigo científico. Espero contribuir com todos de alguma forma:

Vasconcelos et al. show that lineages with seeds dispersed by frugivores have wetter and warmer climatic optima and lineages that are not dispersed by frugivores tend to shift climatic niches more often 🌸🌼🌺 @TNCVasconcelos, @jboyko21, @phylieu doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14292
