I hold a degree in Biological Sciences, with a teaching credential (2012) and a bachelors degree (2014) from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu campus. During my undergraduate studies at UNESP, I conducted scientific research focused on the taxonomy of crickets and participated for over two years in the outreach project Arthropods: Life and Environment. I completed my masters degree in the graduate program in Biological Sciences (Zoology) at the Institute of Biosciences, University of São Paulo (IBUSP), where I developed taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on Orthoptera, including a research internship at the Muséum national dHistoire naturelle (MNHN) in Paris, France (2016). During my PhD in the same program, I expanded my studies to address evolutionary, phylogenetic, and taxonomic questions concerning crickets, including another research stay at MNHN between 2019 and 2020. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Genetics and Evolutionary Biology at IBUSP. My main research interests involve the evolution, biogeography, diversification patterns, and classification of Grylloidea, with experience in both morphology and molecular data, as well as taxonomic work on extant and fossil groups. I also have experience in the digitization of entomological collections. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Crickets are frequently used as models in many areas of science with regard to behavior, acoustic communication, ecology, and neurobiology. The understanding of these and other biological disciplines relies on phylogenetic trees to provide comparative and evolutionary context. However, phylogenetic tools are still scarce for Orthoptera order, and even more for Grylloidea, the superfamily …
Grylloidea classification have had several controversies over the years. Higher-level phylogenies for Orthoptera, Ensifera and Grylloidea recently started to clarify these relationships. The subfamily Tafaliscinae sensu Desutter 1987, traditionally considered not valid, was recently recovered as monophyletic based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis. However, none taxonomic change to val…
With regard to other Orthoptera, the neotropical Grylloidea are poorly known. The main reason is the lack of scientific studies on this group, mainly taxonomic studies, since the current number of described species is still much underestimated. The genus Eidmanacris Chopard, 1956 comprises 13 described species, and is mostly distributed on Atlantic Forest and Cerrado areas, extending from…
There are several studies using crickets as models of evolutionary study, mainly concerning speciation, acoustic communication, modification of forewings characters and relationship with habitats. Although crickets are good models of evolutionary studies, Grylloidea classification have had several controversies over the years. Therefore, higher-level phylogenies for Orthoptera, Ensifera a…
The scientific knowledge of Neotropical Grylloidea is poor due the small number of publications, mainly taxonomic and consequently systematic studies. The genus Eidmanacris has 15 species described, distributed in Atlantic forest and Cerrado, and extending towards south and southeast Brazilian regions, reaching Bolivia and Paraguay. Although the number of described species is relativity h…
