Currently working with Interaction Networks of Cassidinae and their host plants as a master's student in Ecology at UNICAMP, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. João Vasconcellos-Neto and co-supervision of Prof. Dr. Mathias M. Pires, with FAPESP funding. Interested in the study of the ecology and natural history of Coleoptera and other insects. Graduated in Biological Sciences from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in 2023. Winner of the Scientific Merit award as one of the 20 best Scientific Initiation projects presented at the XXX Scientific Initiation Congress of UNICAMP (2022). The aforementioned project was developed under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Gustavo Quevedo Romero and co-supervision of MSc. João Vitor de Alcantara Viana, and was entitled "Post-fire effects on the display of camouflage strategies of Cerrado arthropods". He completed a Scientific Initiation, with funding from FAPESP, on the interactions between Cassidinae (Chrysomelidae, Coleoptera) and their host plants in Serra do Japi (Jundiaí - SP), under the guidance of Prof. Dr. João Vasconcellos-Neto. Additionally, he works as a freelance scientific illustrator. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Insect-plant nteractions are dominant in modern's terrestrial ecology. Studying them is extremely important for understanding biodiversity patterns, especially in the tropics where both groups have the greatest biodiversity. Network metrics are useful tools for investigating these patterns and providing answers about the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape these interactions.…
Insects are the most diverse living beings on the planet, essential for the proper functioning of ecosystems. The co-evolution with the Angiosperms group made this high diversification possible, making it impossible to study the diversity and conservation of these animals without considering the interactions they establish with plants. The Cassidinae subfamily is one of the most diverse o…
Insect-plant interactions are ubiquitous in modern terrestrial ecology and are considered major drivers of insect diversification. Most of these interactions remain unknown because of the costly and time-consuming effort to assess them. Metabarcoding has proven to be a powerful tool for detecting arthropod-plant interactions using trace amounts of environmental DNA (eDNA) but has rarely b…
