The São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, within the scope of the Biota-FAPESP Program,
and the National Science Foundation (NSF), invite you to the
Workshop Dimensions US-BIOTA São Paulo:
A multidisciplinary framework for biodiversity prediction in
the Brazilian Atlantic forest hotspot
February 10th – 2014
Venue: FAPESP – Rua Pio XI, 1500 – Alto da Lapa – São Paulo – SP
The workshop will gather renowned scientists in the fields of biogeography, climatology, geology,
ecology and evolution to describe how recent advances in these disciplines improve the documentation
of diversity patterns in the Atlantic forest and enhance our understanding of their underlying processes.
Participants will discuss novel ways to integrate data and identify trans-disciplinary studies that can further help biodiversity prediction and protection in the region.
