Has a degree in Biology from Universidade de São Paulo (1999), master's at Ecology from Universidade de São Paulo (2002) and doctorate at Ecology from Universidade de São Paulo (2007). He is currently associate professor at the University of Sao Paulo, FFCL-RP USP, Brazil. Adviser of master's and doctorate students in Ecology in UFBA and of the program of Entomology of FFCLRP-USP. Holds a postdoctoral degree in Ecology and Biomonitoring - ECOBIO from the Federal University of Bahia (2008-2009). Has a research internship at the Helmholtz Institut für Umweltforschung - UFZ (Center for Environmental Research), Leipzig - Germany, 2006. Is president of IALE-BR, Brazilian chapter of the International Association of Landscape Ecology (IALE) and Council Chairman for IALE. Has experience in the field of Ecology, with emphasis on Conservation of fragmented landscapes, acting and researching mainly in the areas of Landscape Ecology, Habitat Fragmentation, Ecological Modeling, GIS, Conservation Biology, Pollination and interaction between plants and floral visitors. Has written articles about the relationship between landscape structure and biodiversity in general and more recently about the interplay between landscapes and the structure of plant-floral interaction networks, still with a series of manuscripts on these themes being written or already submitted and currently under revision.

This proposal seeks to create a nucleus of analysis and synthesis of nature-based solutions (the BIOTA SYNTHESIS) aimed at solving socio-environmental problems presented by the government of the state of São Paulo, with a focus on demands that have been put forward by the Secretariats of Infrastructure and Environment, Agriculture and Supply, and Health. The research approach is inspired …
A grand portion of biodiversity and ecological processes happen in the treetops. However, the scientific knowledge in this forest extract is practically nonexistent as there are very few studies in these environments. Furthermore, the rare existing studies collect an insufficient environmental data sample to describe and explain the biological patterns and processes in these systems. The …

Pollination and pest control are essential ecological processes for agricultural productivity. In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the proportion of cultivated areas dedicated to agricultural crops dependent on these services. However, land use changes in natural and agricultural landscapes are among the main causes of decline in pollinator and pest regulator commu…
The State of São Paulo (SP) has an area of approximately 249 thousand km². Half of the crops practiced in the State depend on animal pollination and pest control (e.g., soybeans, coffee, and oranges). The pollination process is responsible for approximately R$ 5 billion of the value of annual agricultural production in São Paulo. Furthermore, SP presents a wide variety of environmental co…
Landscape changes, such as species' habitat loss and degradation, are the main propulsors of biodiversity loss. This occurs due to the resulting limitation of these species' resources and consequent increase in competition, apart from negatively affecting reproductive, social and dispersal behaviours, leading to population simplification and decline as well as species' extinction. In cont…
The increasing process of anthropization has altered landscapes, leading to fragmentation of natural environments and the reduction of available habitat with serious consequences for biodiversity. The mosaic of environments in which the individuals are inserted, as well as landscape configuration and composition directly affect organism's movement. Landscape structure may alter individual…
The pollination is an important ecological process for the functioning of ecosystems. Pollinating insects, mostly bees, are responsible for the maintenance of plant species reproduction in natural and anthropic ecosystems. However, bees are very sensitive, to natural habitats loss and fragmentation. This disturbance in the landscape can lead to decreased pollinator richness and visitation…

Bee pollination is an important ecological process for the functioning of ecosystems, being responsible for the maintenance of plant species in natural and anthropic environments. However, bees are very sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation, which decrease their species richness and flower visitation frequencies. Also, the structural diversity and abundance of plant species may alte…
