Camila C. Ribas is affiliated with the National Institute of Amazonian Research in Brazil, where they conduct research primarily in the fields of Environmental Science and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work focuses extensively on the interactions and dynamics within the Amazonian ecosystem.

Their recent publications illustrate a broad scope of interests and contributions to prominent scientific journals. These include:

  • Human impacts outpace natural processes in the Amazon, 2023, Science
  • Leveraging natural history biorepositories as a global, decentralized, pathogen surveillance network, 2021, PLoS Pathogens
  • Quaternary climate changes as speciation drivers in the Amazon floodplains, 2020, Science Advances
  • Vulnerability of the biota in riverine and seasonally flooded habitats to damming of Amazonian rivers, 2020, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems
  • The role of environmental filtering, geographic distance and dispersal barriers in shaping the turnover of plant and animal species in Amazonia, 2020, Biodiversity and Conservation

Ribas's research spans several key topics, including:

  • Fish biology, ecology, and behavior
  • Genetic diversity and population structure
  • Ecology and vegetation dynamics studies
  • Evolution and paleontology studies
  • Plant and animal studies
  • Genomics and phylogenetic studies
  • Species distribution and climate change

The scientist's work aligns with several subfields, notably Nature and Landscape Conservation, Genetics, Ecology, Paleontology, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

They have frequently published in several venues such as:

  • Journal of Biogeography
  • Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
  • Molecular Ecology
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation

Collaboration plays a significant role in their scientific output, with frequent co-authors including Alexandre Luis Padovan Aleixo, André Oliveira Sawakuchi, Joël Cracraft, Gregory Thom, and Jansen Zuanon.
