Professor at the Department of Genetics and Evolution at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). Graduated in Biological Sciences (2008), Master's (2010) and PhD (2011) in Genetics and Evolution from the Federal University of São Carlos, the last one having been developed at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (Germany) and at the Universidad de Jaén (Spain). Additionally, he carried out postdoctoral internships at Universitätsklinikum Jena (Germany) and at the Federal University of São Carlos. I am currently member of the Genetic Advisory Committee (CA-GE) of CNPq (07/01/2022 - 06/30/2025) and coordinator of the National Institute of Science and Technology of Biodiversity and Sustainable Use of Neotropical Fishes (2022-2027). I am Alumni of Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (AVH) and member of the Editorial Board of 5 scientific journals and reviewer of others 70. Has experience in Genetics, with emphasis on Animal Genetics, working mainly on the following topics: Molecular Cytogenetics, Genomic Organization, Biogeography and Evolution.

This project will continue the evolutionary analysis, which has been addressed in our previous projects approved by FAPESP. In this sense, problems that still need to be better understood will be addressed, covering biogeographic and species dispersion issues between different continents, the colonization routes, as well as the evolutionary consequences resulting from geographical isolati…
This project is linked with the Research Project (FAPESP 2018/22033-1) entitled "An intercontinental approach for the investigation of chromosome evolution, genetic diversity and biogeography in the order Osteoglossiformes (Teleostei: Osteoglossomorpha). Part III". With this specific project, we will profit from the scientific expertise of both research groups to progress our understandin…
This project will continue the previous project (FAPESP 2016/22196-2), focusing on chromosome evolution, genetic diversity and phylogeography of Osteoglossiformes species representative of different intercontinental regions, counting on a network of international collaborators equally interested in this promising approach. New generation sequencing of Ultra-Preserved Elements (EUCs) and D…
The order Osteoglossiformes has at least one representative in each of the southern hemisphere continents, except for Antarctica, being a unique model for the integration of chromosomal and biogeographical studies. However, chromosomal data in Osteoglossiformes are still scarce and restrict to a few species. This project will continue the previous one (FAPESP- 2014 / 23172-4), focusing on…

The present project aims to integrate cytogenetic and genomic analyzes to investigate evolutionary processes that led to the differentiation of the XX/XY1Y2 sex chromosome system, which is rarer among vertebrates compared to other multiple sex chromosome systems. The isolation and characterization of the satellite DNA library (satellitome) will be carried out in representatives of all ver…
The present project will investigate the mechanisms involved in the differentiation of the BZZ/@ZW sex chromosome system. The genomic content of sex chromosomes will be analyzed by isolating, characterizing and mapping satellite DNA libraries (satellitome) in representative bird species. This Scientific Initiation project has two parts, and in the present proposal (Part II) the species Ja…

This proposal will investigate the evolutionary mechanisms that guided the origin and differentiation of the ZW sex chromosome system in vertebrates, with the support of a national and international network of collaborators, equally interested in the theme of this proposal. Isolation, characterization and mapping of the satellites of model groups of fishes, reptiles and birds will be carr…
The Lebiasinidae family (Teleostei, Characiformes) has approximately 74 valid species of Neotropical freshwater fishes, that in general present a very small body size varying from 1.6 to a maximum of 20 cm length. However, this family still lacks studies in a cytogenetics point of view. In the genus Lebiasina, the diploid number are conserved in all the species analyzed till this moment, …

The student has developed 24 months of the project entitled "Chromosomal evolution, genetic diversity and demographic history in species of the genus Pyrrhulina (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae)" (FAPESP 2019/25045-3) and the achieved results were published 2 articles both in the journal Frontiers in Genetics (IF=4,599) (Moraes et al., 2021 and Ferreira et al., 2022). Up to now, conventional …
The student has developed 24 months of the project entitled "Evolutionary relationships and demographic history in species of Loricariidae (Siluriformes), with emphasis on the genus Harttia" (FAPESP 2020/02681-9), and the achieved results were published in the journals Genes (IF=4.096) and Biology (IF=5.079), were the student figures as the first author. Up to now, conventional (Giemsa an…
The student Gustavo A. Toma is developing his studies in our laboratory since November, 2018. Up to now, several S. formosus color variants were analyzed by conventional (Giemsa and C-banding) and molecular (chromosomal mapping of multigene families, CGH and WCP experiments) cytogenetic methods coupled with UCE species delimitation analysis, providing important and unprecedented data for …
The student has developed 16 months of the project entitled: Evolutionary relationships of the Erythrinidae family (Teleostei, Characiformes). I. Comparative cytogenetics in Lebiasinidae, with focus in the genus Pyrrhulina". In the first 12 months of her IC project, conventional and molecular analyses were conducted in two Pyrrhulina species, named P. australis and Pyrrhulina aff. austral…
The student has developed 6 months of the project entitled: "Evolutionary relationships of the Erythrinidae family (Teleostei, Characiformes). IV. Comparative cytogenetics in Hepsetidae". Up to now, great effort was depicted to sample these fishes in the Osun river (Nigeria) and analyze them by conventional (Giemsa and C-banding) and molecular (chromosomal mapping of multigene families, T…
