Hungry for education, the kid from the Brazilian slums finished his PhD in Biology at University of St Andrews. Macroecology/Biodiversity Change/Fisheries/Fish
Dear all, I am honoured to share with you the second paper from my PhD at @NatureComms. Thank you: @FayeHelenMoyes1 and Anne Magurran for all teamwork, and @FishBaseProject & #aquamaps for the data.
Global patterns in functional rarity of marine fish https://t.co/OFALDah7Vj
As Brazil’s environment minister, Marina Silva helped to rein in rampant deforestation and rebuild institutions that were weakened by the previous government https://t.co/6CKcBQCHts
I saw Anne Chao give a plenary at #BES2016 and it's excellent to see that she is still leading great research. A new method helps analyse the relationship between #biodiversity within and between ecosystems and the #multifunctionality of entire landscapes https://t.co/sUmGtHA2wa

🌀New paper🌀 Great to see our new @OkeonChuramori paper out today in @GlobalChangeBio! Using an acoustic sensor array 🎤🎵 🐦 across Okinawa island, we found that typhoons 🌀 elicit divergent ecological responses across the island:

Great to see my @esjoffice award article out in @EcologicalRes with Takehiro Sasaki: there's been interest in response diversity for years, but still not much empirical (or theoretical!) work formalising the links between response diversity and stability. We ask "why not?"
So great to see our Romanian bird 🐦 response trait diversity paper out now in @AnimalEcology, expertly led by @hannah_wht! Check it out for functional diversity, temporal stability, birds, response and effect traits, land use, and more!! https://t.co/G24SpEynsU
📢Great piece from @ConversationUS about our recent study using climatic space to look at biodiversity patterns ➡️Tropical climates are the most biodiverse on Earth − but it's not only because of how warm and wet they are https://t.co/GMd9vBtzAQ
