Mitonuclear and phenotypic discordance in an Atlantic Forest frog hybrid zone. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe characterized the patterns of genetic and phenotypic variation in a contact zone between Cycloramphus dubius and Cycloramphus boraceiensis, two sister species of frogs endemic to the Atlantic Coastal Forest of Brazil. We detected discordance in patterns of introgression across the three data types.

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 191-228., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Brazil climate highlights 2023. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciAbstract In the year 2023, the Earth experienced the highest near‐surface temperature anomalies ever recorded until then. In addition, several extreme weather and climate events occurred around the world, including in Brazil. In this context, the primary objective of this study is to analyze the anomalous temperature and precipitation patterns observed

TAXON, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 307-359, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Classifications of the pantropical plant family Sapotaceae based solely on morphology have historically recognized between 125 and 53 genera. Phylogenetic analyses using molecular data have repeatedly demonstrated that broad concepts of two large genera belonging to subfamily Chrysophylloideae, Chrysophyllum and Pouteria, are untenable and ...

Phylogeography of Agathistoma (Turbinidae, Tegulinae) snails in tropical and southwestern Atlantic
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 76-90, January 2022., 2022 Abstract The rocky intertidal gastropods Agathistoma viridulum and A. hotessierianum occur from the Caribbean to southern Brazil, with a gap in the equatorial region, giving them an anti‐tropical distribution. We used sequences from mitochondrial genes to elucidate the phylogeography of A. viridulum and A.

Thin layers in the coastal zone of Ubatuba, Brazil: Mechanisms of formation and dissipation
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 558-574, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Thin layers are vertically compressed, horizontally extensive, highly concentrated features comprised of plankton and/or particles. They are critical components of the marine ecosystem, likely playing a key role in the life histories and evolutionary trajectories of species found in, or, interacting with them.
