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 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 am member of Instituto Pró-Carnívoros and Instituto Manacá. 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 dimensions. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
- Patterns of biological diversity and coexistence human-wildlife: components that sustain ecosystem services, AP.PP
Abstract
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 mamm...
- CON-viva towards convivial conservation: governing human wildlife interactions in the Anthropocene, AP.R
Abstract
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 conser...
- Road ecology and biological conservation, AV.EXT
Abstract
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 ro...
- Trophic ecology, functional diversity and occurrence of terrestrial mammals in the Atlantic Forest, AP.R
Abstract
The Atlantic Forest biome has suffered defaunation processes resulting in the loss of ecological functions that compromised their ecosystem services. This study aims to describe the trophic ecology, functional diversity and occurrence of terrestrial mammals in preserved areas (N=5) located at the largest forest continuum of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The study includes the isotopic ...

- Capybaras and cougars spatial ecology across human-influenced landscapes, BP.MS
Abstract
Human influenced landscapes are threatening the biodiversity. Nevertheless, some resilient species can still live in these areas and adapt to them. Among these species showing adaptations, capybaras can reach a high demographic density and cougars are the only top-predator remaining in these landscapes. Both species are cause of conflicts with human population, since they are found very...

The project is grounded in the premise that conservation is critical to transformations to sustainability but that its practices need to change radically.

- Macroecological patterns for the loss of ecosystem services in Anthropocene: allying phylogeny, functional attributes, and diversity of neotropical mammals, BP.PD
Abstract
Mammals play several ecological roles and among 4,556 terrestrial species, 1,169 are highly endangered. Several studies showed important downstream effects of species loss on ecosystem functioning. The suitable functioning of ecosystems provides ecosystem services benefiting human populations. Taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversities can contribute to the evaluation of the eco...
- Trophic ecology of carnivorous mammals of the Atlantic Forest: use of stable isotope and functional diversity for conservation, BP.DR
Abstract
Environmental control exercised by top predators is critical for the maintenance of ecosystems; however, their absence triggers a series of effects over the trophic chain and ecological processes. This study aims to analyze the trophic ecology of carnivorous mammals in preserved and modified landscapes of the Atlantic Forest, by using stable isotope analysis and functional diversity, te...
- Bird assemblages as indicator of forest quality, BP.MS
Abstract
Fragmentation and loss of habitat have caused major impacts on biodiversity. Along this factors, changes in the composition of the food chain also interfere with the dynamics of ecosystems, causing loss of species and ecological functions. The aim of this study is to functionally characterize bird assemblages in forest remnants embedded in matrix and anthropic areas inserted in a contin...

- Extent and determinants of biogeographic constraints on New World mammal diversity, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
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...
- Functional changes in frugivorous bird assemblages along a fragmentation gradient, BE.EP.MS
Abstract
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...
