Graduated in Biological Sciences at Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2009). MSc. (2012) and PhD (2018) in Animal Physiology at University of São Paulo. Currently, I'm a research scientist at the Institute for Conservation of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I investigate how vertebrates cope with environmental changes at different levels of organization. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

During reproductive season, males display high testosterone (T) levels that develop and maintain secondary sexual traits. Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones also have an important role during this period, recruiting energy stores to cope with reproductive costs. Nevertheless, the increase of CORT levels for extended periods of time can be deleterious for reproduction, diminishing T concentratio…
Steroid hormones mediate transitions between life history stages in vertebrates due to their broad effect on their physiology and behavior. Species that display seasonal reproduction increase their androgens (AN), estradiol (E) and glucocorticoids (GC) during this period in order to mediate and facilitate reproduction. Additionally, steroid concentration and time of exposure along with in…
Trade-offs between two or more phenotypic characteristics have been described in the literature as the relative fitness costs that occur when a benefic change in one characteristic is linked to a disadvantageous change in another one. In reproductive males, the expression of secondary sexual characters, including sexual behavior and territorial defense, would be associated with decresead…

Glucocorticoids (GC) help organisms maintain homeostasis under predictable and unpredictable life events. The release of GC usually results in adaptative effects. However, the continuous elevation of this steroid during critical periods, such as the reproductive season, can result in deleterious effects in animals' physiology and behavior. In this way, it is expected that some species pre…
TThis proposal aims to establish a new collaboration between research groups at UNC Charlotte and University of São Paulo and obtain preliminary data to investigate the effects of the global climate change on the amphibian populations of a semi-arid Brazilian Caatinga region. The proposed project will combine complementary expertise of the US and Brazilian laboratories to determine the ro…
