Undergraduate student in Biological Sciences at the Institute of Biosciences, University of São Paulo (IB-USP). I am interested in macroevolutionary studies and the application of comparative phylogenetic methods, with a particular focus on investigating mass extinctions of South American megafauna and extinct mammals. I am currently a member of the Macroevolution and Paleobiology Laboratory at the Institute of Biosciences, USP (IB-USP), conducting research on vertebrate paleontology, with an emphasis on extinction patterns in sloths (Folivora). My work is funded by FAPESP and includes a research internship abroad (BEPE fellowship) at Sebastian Höhnas lab, Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), Germany. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The global and rapid extinction of megafaunal mammals at the end of Pleistoceneattracts the attention of both the general public and paleontological research. This hasled to the formulation of multiple hypotheses about its causes, with the main onespointing out to the impact of climate change or the human influence over these animals,such as excessive hunting (known as overkill hypothesis…
Along with the recent extinction of a great part of group species, sloths (Folivora) are remarkable for the significant loss of diversity along their evolutionary history, with the extinct diversity far exceeding that of living species. This loss of diversity may result from extinction events over geological time, such as the extinction of large mammals (collectively known as megafauna) d…
