Birds of the World - Birds of the World adds Portuguese to growing language offerings
Language should never be a barrier to learning about birds. When we launched automatic translations into Spanish, the number of logged in users from Central and South America more than doubled — and w...

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.

This Hawaiian island's 'freakosystems' are a warning from the future
Ecosystems which have never been seen before are being accidentally created by humans. They offer a stark look into the nature of tomorrow.

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
