I hold a Bachelor's and a Teaching degree in Biological Sciences, as well as a Master's degree in Ecology, all from the Institute of Biology (IB) at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Ecology at the same institution. I am interested in understanding animal behavior from an ecological perspective, using primates as a study model. In my doctoral research, my focus is to deepen the understanding of the causes and consequences of behavioral variation in primates. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Throughout their lives, animals make a myriad of behavioral decisions about (i) where to obtain energy and nutrients, (ii) with whom and how to interact socially, and (iii) when and where to move. These behaviors emerge from decisions made by individuals and can vary both within and between species. Intrinsic factors (e.g., type of diet) and extrinsic factors (e.g., environmental seasonal…
According to the Optimal Foraging Theory, animals tend to optimize energy by choosing items of higher quality and lower cost, although they can expand their diet, especially during lean season when resources are scarce. Seasonality strongly influences the diet of frugivorous primates, such as the titi monkey (Callicebus genus). The Serra do Japi is a seasonal semideciduous forest with dry…
The Atlantic Rainforest presents one of the largest diversity of tropical forests in the world, however it has been threatened by human activities. Forest fragmentation is one of these threats, which can lead to forest edge problems and to changes in forest structure. These effects are responsible for changing the composition of the vegetation. The Forest Reserve ARIE Mata de Santa Genebr…
