Biography

IMPORTANT

Quitting from academy.
I am no longer accepting invitations for manuscript reviews. I am only finishing works in progress in collaboration with other researchers and students. I may accept collaborations but time is now very limited.

I will continue to maintain active packages.

About my research

My research interests include the effects of global warming on the distribution and conservation of organisms, methodological aspects of ecological niche modeling, and how ecological and environmental processes affect bird life histories. Methods include ecological niche models, R stats, R programming, spatial analyses. Previously working on threats that climate change poses to the biodiversity of cabrucas (traditional cocoa agroforests) of southern Bahia and how cabrucas can mitigate impacts of a warming climate.
