Abstract
Project that provides for the fulfillment of the infrastructure demands of the main laboratories of the Institute, allowing researches to be carried out in the three main areas of knowledge, mainly the projects financed by FAPESP. (AU)
She has graduated in Biological Sciences from USP / Ribeirão Preto (1993), Master's and PhD in Biological Sciences (Zoology) from UNESP / Botucatu (1996 and 2000, respectively), Post-Doctorate from USP / Ribeirão Preto (2002) and Specialist in Aquatic Ecology by UNESP / São José do Rio Preto (2013). He is currently Associate Professor 5.3 at the Department of Zoology and Botany at UNESP, São José do Rio Preto. She has experience in the area of Zoology, in topics related to the ecology of stream fish. She is a Master and Doctoral advisor at PPG Biodiversity, UNESP / São José do Rio Preto. She is responsible for the subjects "General and Human Parasitology" and "Conservation Biology" to students of the Biological Sciences course at UNESP / São José do Rio Preto; co-responsible for the discipline "Ecology of Freshwater Environments" at PPG Biodiversity in the same institution. https://www.webofscience.com/wos/author/record/225813 == My Citations: http://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=enuser=yw9U9YkAAAAJ == ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2966-0905 (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Project that provides for the fulfillment of the infrastructure demands of the main laboratories of the Institute, allowing researches to be carried out in the three main areas of knowledge, mainly the projects financed by FAPESP. (AU)
Knowing and understanding what structures and maintains the high diversity of species in highly threatened tropical regions, such as the Amazon, is of fundamental importance. Preserved tropical forests are currently known to be valuable for maintaining ecosystem services, such as pollination and rainfall regulation. They are also important for food security and for the production, storage…
The agropastoral expansion in the Amazon is the main cause of forest loss, with negative influences to the streams ecosystems. Some of the watersheds located in this region show deforestation over the last four decades whereas others were cleared over the last two decades. This project was designed with the focus on the importance of understanding the stream functioning in recently defore…

Introduction of species outside their native range can lead to biological invasion processes, which can alter ecological relationships in new distribution areas, including host-parasite interactions. On the other hand, parasitism can influence the invasion process, helping or limiting the expansion of their hosts. In this scenario, bipartite networks are considered effective tools for stu…
Protected areas aimed at conserving biodiversity are not free from human interference, such as deforestation and mining. These activities impact the terrestrial and aquatic environment, notably the small streams, known as igarapés in the Amazonian biome. The present project aims to study the fish fauna of 24 igarapés of the Saracá-Taquera National Forest, in the state of Pará, to determin…
The accelerated expansion of cities over natural environments ends up including the streams in the urban landscape, causing a series of negative effects, among which is the change in the availability of food resources for fish. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine how the urbanization gradient is reflected in the trophic structure of the stream fish fauna in the Upper Tietê R…
Understanding the effects of land use changes have been recently gaining attention in freshwater ecology studies. It is noteworthy that, ecologists and ichthyologists have been increasingly used landscape variables to identify and comprehend the patterns of loss of fish biodiversity in aquatic systems. On the other hand, there is no standardization in the scales and methodologies applied …

The streams of the Neotropical region harbor a small-sized fish fauna, frequently with limited geographical distribution and, generally, highly dependent on riparian vegetation for feeding, shelter and reproduction. The watershed native vegetation removal is one among several modifications, which effects on aquatic environments are not completely understood yet. The knowledge of deforesta…
Successive changes in land-use over the years have potential to affect aquatic organisms and communities functioning. Thus, the aim of this project is assess if, and how, the land-use - grassland to sugarcane - and time (one decade) can affect functional diversity of tropical stream fish. For this, we resampled 43 streams that had been sampled in 2003 at Northwest state of São Paulo. All …
Several factors influence stream ichthyofauna structure (e.g. habitat heterogeneity, spatial scale and dispersal) and the metacommunity framework can help to understand the mechanisms and process which regulates spatial organization of species, as this concept is focused on interaction linking dispersal and community dynamics within and between local and regional scales. The aim of this s…
