International collaboration network of PEA faculty members

Co-authorship collaboration network based on articles published by PEA faculty members.

The red lines represent connections between authors and co-authors of the same article who are affiliated with different regions.

All regions of each country (different cities and states) were represented using the approximate coordinates of the country’s centroid, except for Brazil, which was represented using the geographic coordinates of PEA – UEM in Maringá, PR, Brazil.

Reference

Structure and science that consolidate PEA’s leadership in aquatic ecology.

With robust infrastructure, including more than 20 specialized laboratories, an advanced research base, and a unique scientific collection, the program consistently attracts faculty and students from Brazil and abroad.

This structure facilitates academic exchange and high-impact scientific production, reinforcing PEA’s global leadership in the ecological research of continental aquatic environments.

The continuity of long-term studies, combined with activities in teaching, extension, and development, positions PEA as an international reference center in addressing contemporary environmental challenges.
