Birthplace: Brazil

I have a Bachelor's degree and a Degree in Biological Sciences, a master's degree in Ecology, Conservation and Wildlife Management and a PhD in Ecology (University of Missouri - Columbia, USA). I was a researcher/teacher in Animal Health at the University of Plymouth (UK) and a scholarship holder for the Science without Borders Program (Attraction Jovens Talentos, Capes/CNPq) by FIOCRUZ/RJ. From 2016 to 2023, I was an assistant professor at UVA-RJ, working as a researcher at the Center for Wild Vertebrate Studies (NEVS) and professor at the undergraduate and Professional Master's degrees in Environmental Sciences. I am currently an assistant professor at IBILCE / UNESP. I work mainly on ecology, conservation, health and parasitology of mammals, forest fragmentation and zoonoses. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Abstract
Domestic dogs can negatively impact natural communities, for example by altering the behaviour of native species, preying on/competing with them, and/or transmitting pathogens. In many scenarios, dogs act as a link between the wild, domestic, and human environments, a link that is essential for understanding pathogen transmission and for conserving biodiversity. The occurrence of this inv…

Abstract
Pacas (Cuniculidae: Cuniculus paca) are large herbivorous rodents found from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, inhabiting all Brazilian states. They forage at night for fallen fruits, sprouts, and tubers, acting as seed dispersers for small seeds, contributing to forest regeneration, and predators of large seeds. Despite their ecological importance, little is known about their diet. …
