Currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Institute of Biosciences at the University of São Paulo, SP, where I did my PhD in Ecology.Graduated in Animal Science and Technology, focusing on natural parks and zoos, from the University of Évora (2012) and Master in Management and Conservation of Natural Resources from the University of Lisbon/University of Évora (2015). I participated in several Spatial Ecology and Biogeography projects in Portugal, Spain and Thailand, with a primary focus on snakes, lizards and freshwater turtles.My main interests are spatial ecology, biogeography and macroecology of communities, especially reptiles and amphibians.Additionally, he has participated in several conservation projects linked to WWF (impact of changes in land use linked to commodities on vertebrate conservation) and the Zoological Society of London (trends in abundance of Brazilian vertebrates and their consequences on conservation status) (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

(1) To evaluate which biological characteristics and environmental factors tend to make amphibian species vulnerable to extinction. (2) With this knowledge, we can provide suggestions for improving conservation planning and actions. Working Plan: Although extinction risk assessments are an important step in biodiversity conservation by providing valuable information on vulnerabilities and…
The abundance of vertebrates is declining at a global scale and quantifying these declines is essential to design better conservation strategies, especially in the Neotropical region where these declines are stronger. The abundance of populations has been suggested to be naturally lower at the edges of their distributions compared to the center, which is commonly known as the 'abundant-ce…
