Undergraduation in Biological Sciences at University of Campinas (2003), MSc in Ecology at University of Campinas (2006) and PhD in Ecology at University of Campinas (2011). Carried out a post-doctorate at the Department of Plant Biology of University of Campinas (2013). Currently is a professor at the Department of Natural Sciences, Maths, and Education of the Federal University of São Carlos and a research fellow at the Department of Plant Biology of University of Campinas. Supervises students from the Graduation Program of Agriculture and Environment of the Federal University of São Carlos. Has experience in Plant Ecology, especially in population ecology of tree species, acting on the following subjects: spatial structure, spatial point patern analysis, coexistence mechanisms, and seed dispersal.

Agricultural expansion, urban development and other types of anthropogenic disturbance have resulted in intense fragmentation of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. The natural regeneration process inside these fragments is imperilled by hyperabundant lianas that compete with and damage adult trees. Additionally, canopy cover by hyperabundant lianas may act as both a selective filter of se…
Hiperabundant lianas can hinder the regeneration of degraded forests by altering important demographic rates of seedlings. As a result of competition, lianas can decrease growth and recruitment rates, and increase mortality of seedlings of tree species. However, the demographic rates can also be negatively influenced by competition between seedlings and by asymmetric competition with larg…
Tropical tree species which are either dioecious or that occur at low densities tend to be more aggregated than monoecious and denser species. Also, species equipped with mechanisms for long-distance seed dispersal are less aggregated that those equipped with mechanisms that favours limited dispersal. Last, environmental heterogeneity and positive interactions result in higher aggregation…
One of the great interests in Ecology is to understand how so many species can coexist in megadiverse regions, such as tropical forests. One of the main coexistence mechanism is negative density dependence (NDD), which reduces species abundance due to intraspecific competition, Janzen-Connell effects and allelopathy. Most studies that have examined NDD focused on Janzen-Connell effects an…
Three groups of factors influence the spatial structure of tree species: (1) adult density and reproductive system, (2) seed dispersal and (3) post-dispersal processes. Some studies have investigated the influence of these factors on the spatial structure of tropical tree species. However, no study has evaluated the spatial structure at the community level of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainfo…
