Biologist (USP-ESALQ, 2007); Master in Environmental Sciences (UFPA, 2011); and Doctor in Animal Biology (UNESP, 2018) with an exchange period at University of North Texas (UNT, 2016). Currently, I am an Assistant Professor 3.1 in the Department of Biodiversity at UNESP Rio Claro, where I am responsible for the courses "Aquatic Ecosystems" and "Terrestrial Ecosystems" (Ecology) and "Ecosystems" (Biological Sciences). I have been developing research on the impacts of human alterations and changes in land use and land cover on stream ichthyofauna, especially in the Amazon deforestation arc (in the states of PA, RO and MT), where I have been working since 2009.I have experience in Ecology and Zoology, focusing on Fish Ecology, working mainly on the following topics: Community Ecology, Stream Ecology, Landscape Ecology and Natural History.

The structure of a community is influenced by stochastic processes, which generate random patterns in species co-occurrence, and deterministic processes, such as environmental filters and biotic interactions. Human activities, like deforestation, alter the habitat integrity and the composition of fish communities, favoring opportunistic species in degraded streams. The native invasion hyp…
The agribusiness expansion is a primary driver of deforestation, actuating directly on habitat loss and fragmentation, imperiling the freshwater fish diversity in Neotropical region. Identify and comprehend the mechanisms by which the deforestation affects the biological communities is extremely important to elaborate conservation plans and strategies to reduce the biodiversity loss in a…
The streams of the Neotropical region harbor a small-sized fish fauna, frequently with limited geographical distribution and, generally, highly dependent on riparian vegetation for feeding, shelter and reproduction. The watershed native vegetation removal is one of the modifications which the effects on aquatic environments are not completely understood yet. The use of the deforestation h…
