(2021-2023) Consequences of defaunation on plant diversity and ecosystem services in the Amazon Forest
In this research, we seek to better understand the role of medium and large mammals in maintaining plant diversity and associated ecological processes. For this, we experimentally excluded medium and large mammals in plots in Flona do Tapajós. The research is developed in partnership between Ufopa and Unicamp. The project is funded by FAPESPA and FAPESP.
Coordination: Rodrigo Fadini, Mathias Pires. Other researchers: Carlos Brocardo, Arlison Castro, Clarissa Rosa, José LuÃs Camargo, Mauro Galetti.
(2018-2023) Monitoring of Medium and Large Terrestrial Mammals in the Tapajós National Forest
We have been monitoring medium and large terrestrial vertebrates using camera traps along a gradient of pristine and managed forests in the Tapajós National Forest. The project is part of the National Program for Academic Cooperation in the Amazon - Procad-Amazônia, which is funded by CAPES. The project is supported by the Neotropical Institute ( www.institutoneotropical.org ) and, recently, by the Tapajós Flona Mixed Cooperative. The project has now included areas that will be managed by the Cooperative, to understand how logging activities affect the fauna.
Coordination: Rodrigo Fadini (Ufopa), in partnership with José Júlio Toleto (Unifap) and Igor Kaefer (UFAM). Other researchers: Rodrigo Fadini, Carlos Brocardo, Arlison Castro, Dian Rosa, Clarissa Rosa.
