Graduated in Biological Sciences at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Masters degree in 2010 at the department of Physiology, USP. Ph.D. in 2016 at the department of Genetics and Evolutionary Biology, USP. Post-doctoral researcher at IB-USP, with a one year abroad internship at Oregon State University, integrating ecomorphology and evolutionary quantitative genetics to study selection on jaws of Tropidurinae lizards. Post-doctoral fellow funded by NSF at Oklahoma State University, focused on evolution of morphology and locomotor performance of frog species. Currently, I'm an Assistant Project Scientist at University of California, Riverside. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The connection between micro- and macroevolution is an ongoing debate in evolution-ary biology, still being unclear how much evolutionary processes within populations con-tribute to phenotypic divergence across species. Previous work has leveraged the adap-tive landscape as the bridge between these evolutionary scales, focusing on univariate traits. However, selection is inherently a mult…
The theory of morphological integration states that the genetic architecture has a modular pattern, in which a set of genes influences more strongly a unique character complex that exerts a specific function, affecting in a lesser extent other characters of the organism. In general, the modularity of a phenotypic structure is assessed in a hypothesis testing framework, whereby previous in…
One of the greatest challenges of evolutionary biology is to understand the evolution of complex phenotypes composed of several traits that interact with each other. The theory of phenotypic modularity represents interactions among traits as genetic and phenotypic covariation or correlation. A fundamental undertaking in modularity studies is to uncover which evolutionary forces shaped a c…
