Bachelor's at Biological Sciences from University of São Paulo (1999) and Doctorate at Agronomy (Genetics and Plant Breeding) from University of São Paulo (2005). I am professor of Biostatistics, Genetics and Forest Tree Breeding at Federal University of São Carlos, at Sorocaba. My area of research is Conservation of Forest Genetic Resources.

The availability of reference genomes has revolutionized the study of biology, allowing an incomparable advance in the comprehension of the relationship between genotype and phenotype. Besides this paradigm shift in biology, the quantity and availability of well annotated reference genomes are still scarce. Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl. (Lecythidaceae), popularly known as Brazil nut tree, i…
We propose a scientific exchange of forest-based researchers between the Federal University of São Paulo (UFSCAR) and the University of Florida (UF). Exchange activities proposed are related to the ongoing FAPESP Project entitled “Genetic connectivity of the tree Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. in small forest fragments in Sorocaba-SP, Brasil”. This ongoing Project seeks to understand the ec…
Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae) is a tropical tree species widely distributed among the forests of Brazil. In the State of São Paulo most populations are fragmented. The flowers are pollinated by bees and the number of trees that flower in each reproductive season is variable. Recent studies have shown that pollen dispersal distance is spatially limited in isolat…
Studies in the area of population ecology and spatial distribution of genetic diversity are helpful to the definition of priority areas for conservation. The major challenge is to encompass a significant amount of data that, ultimately, may provide definitive conclusions for interpretation of unique and species-specific genetic diversity in most of their occurrence locations. The lack of …
Nowadays climatic changes represent the main focus of discussion on the conservation of natural populations. As trees have a long life cycle, adaptive selection processes occur more slowly than the speed of climatic change. As a consequence, typically cold-weather species such as Araucaria angustifolia and Ilex paraguariensis may suffer a range reduction and, in some more drastic climate …
Virola surinamensis (Rol.) Warb. (virola) is tree species commonly found in Amazon floodplain areas. In Brazil, natural populations had been intensively exploited in the past two decades, leading to a drastic population reduction. Nowadays, the species is classified as vulnerable and actions aiming its genetic conservation are essential. Although characterized as dioecious, a high level o…
