Graduated in Biological Sciences (Universidade Federal do Paraná - UFPR; 1994), Master in Forest Engineering (UFPR; 2001), PhD in Ecology and Conservation (UFPR; 2013), and Postdoctoral Fellow in Ecology (UFPR; 2014; Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais; 2015). Currently, I teach at the Paulista State University (UNESP) - Campus do Litoral Paulista and in its Postgraduate Program in Biodiversity. I am especially interested in insularized continental ecosystems such as salt marshes, campos de altitude, and cloud forests. In these naturally isolated environments, I study the biodiversity and ecology of birds and amphibians and the vegetation dynamics to understand adaptations and vulnerabilities to climate change. In salt marshes, I have been conducting continuous research for 11 years. By looking to overlooked environments, I discovered in them some undescribed species. I also work with conservation of nature, for example elaborating plans of conservation of endangered species and managing a conservation unit (Bicudinho do Brejo Reserve). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Terrestrial planarians are nocturnal, sensitive to environmental disturbances, and susceptible to desiccation due to variations in temperature and humidity, which is why they are used as bioindicators of soil and environmental quality. Little is known about this group in the Atlantic Forest, where we hypothesize that there may be areas lacking this mesofaunal group due to the environmenta…
Productivity is an essential factor in population dynamics. Several factors can influence it, such as rain, temperature, environmental quality, predators, and parental behavior. In the tropics, predation is the factor that most causes reproductive failure. Salt marshes present high predation and frequent tidal floodings. The objective of the study is understand the influences on productiv…
Gastropoda is the most diverse class among mollusks, showing great variability of habits, sizes, shapes and colors. Mollusks of this class are predominant in terrestrial environment, where they are abundant. Besides the growing knowledge about these animals, it is estimated that for each described species there are still another two undescribed. The mountain tops of Atlantic Forest could …
The population dynamics of a given species is determined by its birth and death rates, which themselves can be influenced by external factors, such as climatic conditions and habitat characteristics. In salt marshes, tidal variations and simplified vegetation structure are factors that contribute to population dynamics. The objective of this study is to understand the influence of environ…
