Tiago Leite Pezzuti

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at "Universidade Estadual Paulista - Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP), São José do Rio Preto - SP. I'm also collaborating in the postgraduate program "Biodiversidade" at UNESP, São José do Rio Preto - SP, and in the "Zoologia" postgraduate program at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). I earned a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the "Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto" (2007) and completed my Master's degree in the program of "Ecology, Conservation, and Management of Wildlife" (2011) at UFMG. I hold a Ph.D. in zoology from the "Zoology" postgraduate program, also at UFMG (2017). I conducted a postdoctoral internship in the Zoology postgraduate program at UFMG between 2019 and 2023. My research interests encompass the fields of taxonomy, systematics, phenotypic evolution, natural history, and conservation of anuran amphibians, focusing primarily on the larval stage of this group."
