I started working on Brazilian amphibians in 1998 in the southernmost state Rio Grande do Sul. In 2006 I moved northwards to Bahia. This state lies within the largest pleistocene amphibian refuge within the Atlantic Forest domain and has an astonishing and mostly still undiscovered amphibian fauna. Despite field expeditions to forest fragments no herpetologist has set foot before I work on several other aspects of herpetology. One of them is related to climate change. While the rest of the world fauna suffered with cold and dry climate during the last glacial maxima Southern Bahia remained tropically hot and humid. That means that while in other areas ecophysiological aspects were one of the main motors for amphibian evolution and extinction this doesn’t seem to have been an issue for Bahian frogs. But in a world with changing climate and rising temperatures exactly that may be their weak point now. We have found out that several amphibians already live just some few degrees below their critical maximal tolerance limit and may be severely threatened with rising temperatures.

Forschungsinteressen

• Taxonomy, faunistics, aut- / synecology, diversity patterns and conservation of amphibians and reptiles with special focus on tropical amphibian communities
• Spatial epidemiology of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytridium dendrobatidis
• Macroecology / Species Distribution Modelling with focus on climate change impacts as well as structure and evolution of environmental niches
• Amphibian taxonomy, systematics, tadpole morphology and bioacoustics
• Amphibian ecophysiology and ecotoxicology, mainly focused on herbicides and fertilizers
• Species Distribution Modelling with focus on the impacts of climate change in the Neotropics and on invasive species.
• Amphibian ecology mainly focused on the trophic niche they occupy, but also on reproductive aspects.
• Amphibian tadpoles as biocontrol of mosquito larvae in tank bromeliads

Projekte

2016
Integrating ecophysiological data into species distribution models to assess the effect of climate change on amphibians
This project deals with CTmax and CTmin data gathered from Neotropical amphibians. Most modeling approaches overestimate abiotical factores as environmental temperature and rainfall und underestimate biotical factors as species tolerance limits mostly because no data is readily available. We have gathered CTMax values for a large number of Neotropical amphibians and by integrating them into ecological niche modeling we expect to create more accurate previsions for the future.
