[JUST PUBLISHED] After a long delay and coming out a bit outdated, here is a book chapter on "Frugivory and seed dispersal in tropical urban areas: a review" link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

[NEW PUBLICATION] We used an individual-based bipartite network approach to examine how morphological traits and seasonality shape seed dispersal interactions of gopher tortoises Gopherus polyphemus on Florida’s pine rockland ecosystem. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

[Just Published] Temporal Dynamics of a Neotropical Plant-Hummingbird Interaction Network Our results show the importance of considering the temporal dynamics of tropical community to advance the understanding of the processes defining species interactions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

[Just Published] We described the spatiotemporal variation in the diet of the iconic Hooded Berryeater (Carpornis cucullata), an endemic cotinga from the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. It feeds almost exclusively on fruits; several endemics. journal.afonet.org/vol96/iss2/a... Photo by Jeferson Silva

[NEW PUBLICATION] We document a strong imprint of insularity on floral traits and interactions with hummingbirds. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

"For the last decade scientists have studied O'ahu as an 'amazing crystal ball' that offers a glimpse of the future of our planet" – Jef Vizentin-Bugoni Matt Ponsford interviewed me and some colleagues for an ably written BBC piece on Hawaii's novel ecosystems. Enjoy www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

After 3 years as a faculty at @ufpel.bsky.social, I'm now tenured! It's been challenging to manage lab, grants, outreach and teaching activities but I couldn't be happier by being close to family and many friends while working at my alma mater for the benefit of nature and society. A dream came true
