Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Biologist from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP) (1993), Master in Psychology (Experimental Psychology) from Universidade de São Paulo (1999) and PhD in Applied Ecology from Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ) - Universidade de São Paulo (USP) (2004). I am currently associate professor in the Forest Science Department at ESALQ/USP. I am the lead of the Wildlife Ecology, Management and Conservation Lab (LEMaC http://www.esalqlemac.com.br/). I supervise graduate students in the Graduate Programs in Forest Resources (PPGRF) and Applied Ecology (PPGI-EA). I am member of the Conservation Planning Specialist Group (CPSG) at IUCN. I have a productivity fellowship in research (PQ-2) from CNPq. My main research interests are applied animal ecology, wildlife management, biodiversity conservation, species distribution modeling and human-wildlife coexistence. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Encounters between people and wildlife have been increasingly frequent in shared and spared landscapes, resulting in positive and negative interactions. Promoting changes that favor positive interactions is essential so that negative impacts are minimized. Thus, coexistence will be used in this project as a cross-cutting axis of the research-implementation strategy aimed at solving comple…
Our proposal focuses on the thematic area 2.1.1 (i) item a. Biodiversity: Research, inventory and characterization of the biodiversity in the region, and the impacts to which it is subject; and 2.1.1 (ii) Research for the development of models to evaluate the social perception of ecosystem services; Research for the development of models to minimize the conflict between farmers and mammal…
CON-VIVA is grounded in the premise that conservation is critical to transformations to sustainability but that its practices need to change radically. Conservation can be effective in protecting biodiversity in places, but in toto has failed to halt global biodiversity loss. Continued habitat fragmentation and reduced funding during times of austerity compound this problem. Many conserva…
The goal of the current proposal is to have road ecology experts available in Brazil and help develop science based guidelines for the design and implementation of mitigation measures aimed at reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions and increasing safe crossing opportunities for wildlife along roads and railroads in Brazil. We aim to contribute to reaching these goals through teaching a road…

Overcoming the gap and promoting spaces for interaction between science and practice isfundamental to solving complex problems of interest to society, such as the promotion of human-fauna coexistence. In this sense, this research plan aims toevaluate the benefits and challenges of transdisciplinarity, co-production and citizen sciencein building a non-linear relationship between science a…
The evaluation of resource use by birds in different matrices can be an important strategy to improve human activities in agricultural and forest management, aiming to optimize production and conservation. Thus, this study aims to investigate the resource use by birds present in forest fragments within a silvicultural landscape at the Estação Experimental de Ciências Florestais de Itating…
Transdisciplinary exercises with knowledge co-production can expand the approach to human-wildlife coexistence as a central element in the transition to sustainability across different landscape contexts. However, it is becoming increasingly evident that simply including different actors in a collaborative process is insufficient to ensure the social relevance, legitimacy, credibility, an…

Despite being crucial for socioeconomic and regional development, highways, especially in Conservation Units, threaten fauna by interrupting ecological flows and causing deaths due to collisions, generating notable impacts on the conservation of threatened species. This study will seek to evaluate the effectiveness of fauna run-over mitigation measures implemented on the SP-613 highway in…
Birdwatching is a growing segment of ecotourism in Brazil, which usually happens in natural areas and may take place in urban green spaces with high biodiversity. Thus, enhancing observation in these areas can contribute to human health and well-being and improve human-wildlife interaction. However, each group of birdwatchers can value different aspects, which, even today, makes planning …
Mammals are part of the megafauna and play an important ecosystem role. Over the past 500 years, the assemblages of these animals have been reduced on a large scale in the Neotropics. Anthropic actions are among the main causes of threat and occur in the form of deforestation and fragmentation of ecosystems, which leads to the emptying of mammal assemblages in the tropical forests and sav…

Formal researchers that led projects or initiatives with ecological and ornithological focus, generally consider citizen science as 'the participation of non-professionals in genuine scientific investigations". In Brazil, citizen science has been gaining significant attention within educational and research institutions in recent years, and public policies to encourage the implementation …
Throughout the history of ecology, milestone hypotheses have been posed to understand the latitudinal, altitudinal, area size and seasonal influences in the distribution of mammalian diversity. Mammals embody the acme of ecosystem functioning and communities assembling, and their populations are collapsing in the face of multiple threats. The central aim of this project is to understand b…
Habitat fragmentation has resulted in modifications to the composition of different vertebrate assemblages. Frugivorous birds are considered one of the functional groups most impacted bylogging and fragmentation in the Atlantic Forest. The aim of this study is to compare frugivorous bird assemblage composition at different proportion of habitat (e.g., 5%, 15%,…
