Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2001), master's and doctorate from the same university. Completed postdoctoral studies in 2011 with fellow of Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo. Has experience in morphology studies, with emphasis on Cytology and Cell Biology. Currently I am focused in ecotoxicology of bees, in order to evaluate the toxicity of pesticides to bees and how it can interfere in the pollination processes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Bees play a key role in pollinating services in natural ecosystems and agroecosystems. However, this indispensable service is due primarily to deforestation, fragmentation of habitat and loss of natural areas, which are replaced by urban centers, Agriculture and Livestock. In addition, subsequent activities related to Agriculture in the conventional system, such as the indiscriminate and …
Pollination by Apis mellifera is extremely important ecologically as well as in agriculture securing food production worth billions worldwide. Recently bee populations have been declining described as Colony Collapse Disorder - CCD - for which the exact causes are not known. Xenobiotic compounds, such as thiamethoxam introduced in agro ecosystems e.g. as seed protectant, have been linked …
Pollination by Apis mellifera is extremely important ecologically as well as in agriculture, playing also an important role in beekeeping. However, some xenobiotic compounds, such as thiamethoxam introduced in agro ecosystems, are toxic to bees and have caused mass disappearance of colonies in several countries, risking the process of pollination and thus causing an environmental imbalanc…
The pollination by Apis mellifera is of extreme ecological as well as agricultural importance. This species also plays an important role in beekeeping. However, some xenobiotic substances, such as fipronil introduced in agrosystems, are toxic for bees and have caused mass disappearance of colonies in several countries. Based on this information, this study aims at analyzing the toxicologi…
