Undergraduate and postgraduate in Biological Sciences from UNESP/Rio Claro. I am currently Associate Professor at the Department of Marine Sciences, UNIFESP, Baixada Santista and advisor for the Graduate Program in Biodiversity in Marine and Coastal Ecology, UNIFESP. My research interests aiming at understanding the processes that influence species diversity and metacommunity structure in stream ecosystems, using the fish fauna as the main study model.

The beta diversity in fluvial systems is influenced by habitat availability, species interactions and organism dispersion. The ability to predict and mitigate the effects of anthropogenic changes in these systems depends on the knowledge of which processes are important for the maintenance of diversity at local and regional scales. Due to dendritic structure of stream basins, it is expect…
Fragmentation and loss of habitat are responsible for the reduction of biological diversity in river systems. Patch area and environmental complexity are related to local patterns of diversity, while stream topology (i.e. structural connectivity) affects patterns of regional diversity and organisms' dispersion over aquatic ecosystems. Recently, spatial graphs are being used to represent p…
The distribution of stream fishes suffers influences of environmental features interacting in several different scales. Understanding the extent in witch these scales relate to population dynamics and structure is a relevant issue whit implications to conservation, management and sustainable use of biological resources. In this context, the knowledge about the movement patterns of organis…
About 90% of the commercial fishing landing in inland areas of the Amazon Basin is composed by migratory species. Overfishing and damming are major threats to these stocks. This project aims to implement an individual-based model to simulate the distribution patterns of two of these species, the piramutaba (Brachyplatystoma vailantii) and the dourada (B. rousseauxii). These large catfishe…
