Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Biociências (IB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Argentina
Graduated in Biological Sciences at the Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Argentina (2004), obtained the PhD at the Institute of Bioscience of the University of São Paulo, Brazil (2015) and continues collaborating as researcher with the Smithsonian Institution. As a Post-Doc fellow at Dr. Carlos Navas' laboratory (USP) she is studying individual variability on the thermoregulatory behavior of lizards and the implications of this variability in the adjustments to changing environments.

Fitness in ectothermic vertebrates is closely associated to the possibility of selecting micro-environments with different environmental temperature (Ta). This can be achieved by physiological and behavioral mechanisms. Both thermoregulation as well as thermoconformity is an adaptive strategy depending on the environment. The associated thermal spots that may act as obstacles for locomoti…
Physiological and behavioral mechanisms allow ectotherms to maintain their body temperature (Tb) within an optimal thermal range (Tset-range). Associated costs such as low availability of suitable thermal spots, environmental temperatures (Ta) that exceed the lower and upper Tset or the interaction with other organisms that share the same micro-habitat may impinge on these mechanisms affe…

Climate change projections for Brazil predict an increase in the mean air temperature of up to 6°C and a tendency of decrease rainfalls by 5-20% in 2071-2100. Predicting the responses of organisms to climate change is one of the many urgent challenges faced by contemporary eco-physiologists. Ectothermic vertebrates are particularly sensitive to global warming, as temperature changes could…
