BSc in Biological Sciences from São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" - UNESP/Ibilce, São José do Rio Preto campus (2022) and MSc in Biodiversity (2024) from the same institution, working on the following topics: appeasement behavior, tactile stimulation, aggressive behavior and dominance hierarchies. She spent a sandwich period with BEPE/FAPESP fellowship at the Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) and CIBIO - Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (Portugal). She has received a grant from the Tutorial Education Program (PET), which is under the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education. She was an undergratuate research student in the area of animal behavior with a FAPESP (The São Paulo Research Foundation) grant, at the Animal Behavior Laboratory. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Tactile body stimulation, similar to human therapeutic massage, reduces aggression and in territorial fish. This effect may occur by reducing the attacks from dominant fish or by the faster appearance of appeasement behaviors by the subordinate ones. The aim of this study is to test the effect of body tactile stimulation on appeasement behavior in the cichlid fish Geophagus iporangensis. …
The Cichlid fish family shows a great species richness, especially in the African and Neotropical regions. It is represented by important species for aquaculture, as well as for behavioral research. The independent evolution of cichlids in the great African lakes, plus the complexity of their social behavior, has been generating great interest from the scientific community that has been w…
Tactile stimulation reduces aggression and stress in teleost fish. Some studies have shown that brain monoamines (dopamine and serotonin) are associated with tactile stimulation, reducing aggression, anxiety and stress in mammals. Therefore, monoamines seem to be part of the physiological mechanism associated with these factors. Therefore, we will test the association between brain monoa…
