Sometimes microscopic worms cause plants to make rolls in their leaves: now a Brazil ian scientist is studying the bugs that make their tiny homes there.are bumps, curls or other abnormalities that form during the growth of new leaves, shoots and flowers — these spaces then provide homes to a wide range of living creatures, especially bugs .
Pereira explains that he is currently investigating the consequences of these incredible shelters on the leaf decomposition of these plants. "I have always been fascinated with nature, fauna, and flora; as a teenager, I loved researching species, their scientific names, and their habitats," he says,"It wasn't long before I became an amateur ornithologist, taking photos of many birds I found."
"I fell in love with ecology, and I started working with phytosociology and seed dispersal," he says, adding after his master's degree, Pereira began to investigate the spatial, temporal, and trophic effects of leaf shelters created by ecosystem engineers on arthropod diversity in tropical plants in his doctorate; and then going on to become a a postdoctoral researcher.
