Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Biociências (IB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Biological Sciences graduate from the Universidade de São Paulo (2005) and Master's and Doctoral degrees in Zoology from Universidade de São Paulo (2009). Has experience in Zoology and Ecology, with emphasis on ornithology, population ecology, community ecology, landscape ecology, ecological modeling, conservation biology and taxonomy. Is interested in population and community ecology research and monitoring that combine thorough study design and field studies based on quantitative sampling and modeling, and their application toward decision-making for conservation (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Animals have the ability to actively select their home ranges and this choice can be determined by the set of biotic and abiotic interactions in their natural habitats. Habitat characteristics are constantly changing due to current anthropogenic changes, resulting in changes in resource availability and, consequently, in the spatial distribution of populations. Thus, understanding how ani…
With the aid of GPS and satellite tracking technologies, this project aims to analyze spatio-temporal movement data of the endangered Lear's macaw and other four species of New World vultures in the north of the Bahia state, Brazil, within the Caatinga dry forest biome. We will derive occurrence distributions and home ranges that will be used to describe species geographic distribution an…
Dissemination is an essential activity to make scientific knowledge and its applications accessible to society, contributing to the public's interest in science and fostering transparency in these spaces. Scientific journalism becomes crucial for effective communication, mediating dialogues between science, politics, and society. This project aims to produce journalistic material on major…
The National Action Plans for the Conservation of Endangered Species (PANs) were created to organize and prioritize actions for the conservation of biodiversity and its natural environments (ICMBio, 2023). The present work, in partnership with ICMBio, focuses on the work front of Road Ecology of the PAN Canids, which encompasses four species of canids threatened with extinction in Brazil,…
Movement ecology provides insights into the specific environmental factors that influence thedistribution and habitat selection of animals. By analyzing the individual movement data of fourspecies of vultures equipped with bio-loggers in the Caatinga, we aim to assess how natural andanthropogenic landscape features affect habitat selection, and individualhome ranges

The use of species movement information as input in conservation projects of threatened species is crucial to guide actions, planning and resource allocation. It is fundamental to understand where target populations are, what are their most used areas and which are the selected environmental and landscape elements. The lear's macaw (Anodorhynchus leari) is an endemic, endangered, umbrella…
Research tools such as ecological models and remote sensing have shown increasing usefulness in the understanding of the behavior of populations or natural systems and in conservation decision-making, but are still timidly utilized in raptor biology and conservation studies, and even more so for Neotropical species. Habitat loss and degradation is increasing in most non- forest natural fo…
