nathaliasilvajn [at] gmail.comRodrigo Gomes Gorsani Rodrigo was present between December 2021 and February 2022 working on the thesis project entitled Campos de Altitude – High Altitude Grasslands: a tropical montane ecosystem threatened by Global Change. This project is dedicated to investigating at a landscape level the impacts of global climate change on the High Altitude Grasslands of the mountainous regions of southern and southeastern Brazil. We also investigated the possibility of invasive species reaching these ecosystems. Species distribution modeling and remote sensing techniques constitute the methodological approach of the project.

Name Institution Dr. Dayana Almeida
Dayana stayed in May and june 2019 and was working on the project "Delineating Priority Areas for Sustainable Management of the Grasslands from Campos Gerais, Brazil", funded by the Internationalization Fund of WWU. Her research focuses on identifying invasive woody species in the grasslands of Campos Gerais and developing management strategies using GIS and remote sensing techniques. The methodologigal approach is closely linked to the research lines that we followed in the project INSPECTED.NET and the activities of the RG in New Zealand.Federal University of São Carlos Ricardo Meireles
Ricardo was present from April to May 2019 where he was able to discuss the direction of his doctoral research. He worked with a genus of birds from open habitats and distributed throughout South America, using species distribution modeling. He also participated in a course given by Ricardo Solar and Jan Lemman on neglected ecosystems in Brazil
