#Estudos sobre novas espécies da Europa e EUA usam mais técnicas descritivas, como ferramentas genéticas e análise da anatomia interna por tomografia computadorizada, por exemplo, e consequentemente #descrições podem ser menos contestadas posteriormente
Genetic diversity shapes climate-driven species redistribution:
🚨Genetic diversity slows species range shifts, especially at the trailing edge and under rapid climate change—consistent with the evolutionary rescue hypothesis.

Análise de dados de mais de 5 mil territórios e 1.924 espécies de sapos, rãs e pererecas mostra que duas das principais teorias sobre #biodiversidade de plantas, aves e mamíferos em #ilhas marinhas não explicam sozinhas a riqueza de #anfíbios anuros. agencia.fapesp.br/57463

The last paper of my PhD is out! Together with @duarteldas.bsky.social and Gabriel Nakamura, we investigated how in situ diversification and lineage dispersal have shaped assemblage level diversity in the Atlantic Forest.

Why do some islands have more biodiversity than others? In our new paper, published in @ecography.bsky.social , we sought to answer this question for amphibians! 🌐🏝️🐸

Ever wondered what comes first in evolution: changes in climatic niche or changes in morphology? Does climate pull species, or do organisms evolve first and then shift their niches? This is one of macroevolution’s most persistent open questions.

TIBS 2026 conference was a great opportunity to keep disseminating the @peeer.bsky.social initiative and to present the field's New, Diamond 💎 Open Access journal @biogeographyjfab.bsky.social
Grateful to Michael N. Dawson for the leadership and trust to co-lead this new endeavour
#TIBS2026
It was an honor to participate and present my work at the @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social. Thank you to the organizing committee for an excellent event and for the opportunity to exchange ideas with so many inspiring researchers. Until next time!
Congratulations, Hadeel!
It's great to be here for the first time! The international Biogeography Society - 12th Biennial Conference
Hot topic
In our new preprint, we test ALT vs. NCT using evolutionary rates of climate niche and morphology, multiple phylogenies, and comparative models.
Curious about when phenotype drives niche — or the opposite?

Despite their differences, all major vertebrate groups show signatures of change around the Cretaceous–Paleogene transition, one of Earth’s most dramatic climatic reorganizations.
Understanding niche–trait evolution means understanding how lineages navigated these deep-time shifts.
What do we find? It depends. Across vertebrates, there’s no universal rule.
Niche–trait coupling varies with dispersal, ecological plasticity, evolutionary history, and environmental change.
So the real question is: which groups, under which conditions, and why?
Two frameworks offer opposite views: Adaptive Landscape Theory treats species as passive, with phenotypes adjusting to shifts in the environment. Niche Construction Theory sees organisms as active agents, evolving traits that reshape how they interact with and use environments.
Ever wondered what comes first in evolution: changes in climatic niche or changes in morphology? Does climate pull species, or do organisms evolve first and then shift their niches? This is one of macroevolution’s most persistent open questions.
Today, I had the opportunity to present a little about myself and my career at the annual meet of the Biogeography and Climate Change department at @mncn-csic.bsky.social , where I will be doing a postdoctoral fellowship for a year with @jhortal.bsky.social
