I am a biologist (São Paulo State University - Unesp) with a Masters in Animal Biology (São Paulo State University - Unesp) and a Ph.D. in Ecology (University of São Paulo - USP). My main research interests focus on community and metacommunity ecology, specifically in how dispersal processes affect the balance between stochasticity and deterministic processes shaping community structure in multiple spatial scales. I am also interested in understanding how environmental change can affect biodiversity following a metacommunity ecology perspective. I have a strong quantitative analytical background with experience in both univariate and multivariate data analysis, with experience in ecology and biology of amphibians and freshwater pond macroinvertebrates.

It is common for variations in the structure of ecological communities to occur even among communities subjected to similar environmental and connectivity conditions. One of the phenomena responsible for such variability is priority effects, which occur when the order in which species colonize a community influences its future structure. Priority effects happen because species that coloni…
Land use intensification can affect aquatic community assembly processes by alterations in the terrestrial landscape, where organisms disperse, and by alterations in local aquatic habitat conditions. In this project, we propose to test how land use intensification and spatial isolation affect aquatic community assembly. To do so, we will perform a field experiment in which we will build r…
The metacommunity concept encompasses processes that occur in local and regional scale. However, the same processes may result in different metacommunity structures, so we can not infer processes studying patterns of species distributions. For this reason, the structure-based approaches have being better considered than the process-based ones. With so it is important to identify patterns …
Habitats tend to be selected by individuals of different species in order to increase their fitness according to multiple ecology and behaviors factors, such as environment structure, foraging cost, competition, and dispersion. Understanding of the environmental features that favor the occurrence of certain species to detriment of other species is important because it generates basic info…
The metacommunity is one of the most promising frameworks for understanding the consequences of environmental change on biodiversity because it addresses how spatial isolation and different selective pressures affect similarity among communities. Here we intend to use the metacommunity framework to understand how different vectors of land use intensification affects similarity among fresh…
