Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Biologia (IB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Licentiate degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) - Sorocaba campus. Conducted undergraduate research on the genotoxicity of the trace metal cadmium in tissues of neotropical bees of the species *Bombus atratus* at the Laboratory of Structural and Functional Biology (LABEF). Completed a master's degree in the Postgraduate Program in Biotechnology and Environmental Monitoring at the same university, studying the effects of pristine and weathered spray paint microplastics on the internal organs of *Bombus atratus* worker bees. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Ecology at the Institute of Biology at the State University of Campinas, investigating the histological, genotoxic, and chemical effects of the integration of emerging stressors in native (*Rhinella icterica*) and invasive (*Aquarana catesbeiana*) anurans at the Laboratory of Natural History of Brazilian Amphibians. Research interests include terrestrial and aquatic ecotoxicology, histology, ecology, microplastics, herpetology, and invertebrates.

For decades, amphibians have experienced severe population declines attributed to various factors. Their biphasic life cycle, combined with their permeable and thin skin, makes them particularly vulnerable to multiple stressors, such as rising temperatures, habitat fragmentation, diseases, and pollution. Pollution by microplastics (MPs), contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs),…
Classified as emerging pollutants, microplastics (MPs) pose a potential ecotoxicological risk to aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Because they are a ubiquitous and persistent contaminant, MPs are easily found incorporated in soils, sediments and water bodies. MPs can sorb trace metals and/or present them in their formulation, as is the case with chromium (Cr); extremely toxic element in…
Cadmium (Cd) is a trace metal with high genotoxic potential; can be found as a component of a wide variety of industrialized products, including agrochemicals, both potentiating deleterious effects on non-target entomofauna; especially bees. Thus, to evaluate the genotoxicity of this metal in neotropical bees, bioassays will be performed with workers of the Bombus atratus species. The bee…
