Overview

Fabio de Oliveira Roque is affiliated with the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a significant emphasis on global and planetary change, ecology, nature and landscape conservation, ecological modeling, and management, monitoring, policy, and law related to environmental issues.

Their recent scholarly contributions include papers addressing biodiversity, ecosystem management, and environmental challenges. Among these are:

  • "Scientists' warning to humanity on insect extinctions" (2020, Biological Conservation)
  • "Solutions for humanity on how to conserve insects" (2020, Biological Conservation)
  • "Thresholds of freshwater biodiversity in response to riparian vegetation loss in the Neotropical region" (2020, Journal of Applied Ecology)
  • "Assessing the role of compound drought and heatwave events on unprecedented 2020 wildfires in the Pantanal" (2021, Environmental Research Letters)
  • "Record-breaking wildfires in the world's largest continuous tropical wetland: Integrative fire management is urgently needed for both biodiversity and humans" (2021, Journal of Environmental Management)

The major research topics covered in their work include conservation, biodiversity, and resource management; land use and ecosystem services; fish ecology and management studies; freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology; fish biology, ecology, and behavior; fire effects on ecosystems; and species distribution and climate change.

Fabio de Oliveira Roque has frequently collaborated with several co-authors, including Francisco Valente-Neto (19 joint works), Renata Libonati (16), André Valle Nunes (14), Franco L. Souza (13), and Geraldo Alves Damasceno-Júnior (13).

Their publications are commonly found in journals such as Conservation Science and Practice, The Science of The Total Environment, Hydrobiologia, Journal of Environmental Management, and SSRN Electronic Journal.
