Raquel Carvalho is a biologist (UFOP) and Ph.D. in Ecology and Conservation of Natural Resources (UFU). Currently, a postdoctoral researcher in the Biota Síntese Project, working directly with the challenge of zoonotic diseases. Her research expertise lies at the interface between biodiversity ecology and ecosystem conservation, essentially in tropical areas. This involves understanding the consequences of human-driven disturbances, climate-related stressors and landscape structure on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. More recently, her interests have also focused on synthesis research about Amazonian terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity, to help the process of decision making. She also participated in the co-developing TAOCA, an ecological database of terrestrial fauna of the Brazilian Amazon.
