Pedro is a vertebrate paleontologist and evolutionary biologist currently working as an Assistant Professor at the University of São Paulo (Department of Zoology, Institute of Biosciences). Pedro is also a research associate (honorary) at Stony Brook University (USA) and an editorial board member of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology (acting as the "Phylogenetic Editor"). He has obtained his BSc in Biological Sciences at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) (2011) and his MSc in Comparative Biology at the same institution (2014). Pedro holds a PhD in Earth Sciences (Palaeobiology) completed at the University of Birmingham, UK (2018). Pedro's research interests include macroevolution, systematics and osteology of reptiles, with particular interest in evolutionary patterns and processes, phenotypic evolution and comparative phylogenetic methods.

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…
Crocodylia is the crown-group formed by the most recent common ancestor of living crocodiles, alligators, caimans and gharials and all of its descendants. It is a currently depauperate group, with only nearly 30 extant species. This low diversity is particularly outstanding when compared to the high number of living tetrapod groups, such as mammals, birds and lepidosaurs. Nevertheless, th…
The anatomical description of a new specimen of Baurusuchidae corresponds to the initial objective of this project. The specimen is composed of a skull and associated post-cranial material and was collected in an outcrop on General Salgado-SP (Vale do Rio do Peixe Formation, Upper Cretaceous). In the same location, the skeletal remains of the three species of the genus Baurusuchus were re…
The discovery of fossil vertebrates containing elements, eaten alive, still preserved in its abdominal cavity is an event of major importance in paleontology. These findings are extremely rare due to it preservation difficulty, and allow a series of discussions in various fields such as paleobiology and paleoecology. Despite of the great morphological diversity during the Mesozoic, yet no…
