Im a biologist (BSc, 2009) and zoologist (MSc, 2013) from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), and I hold a PhD in Biological Sciences with a focus on Zoology (2018) from São Paulo State University (UNESP). My research brings together bioacoustics, molecular phylogeny, and morphology to explore the diversity and evolution of Neotropical amphibians and reptiles. Right now, Im a FAPESP Technical Training Fellow (TT5) at the Laboratory of Natural History of Brazilian Amphibians (LaHNAB) and a Visiting Researcher at UNICAMPs Institute of Biology, working with Dr. Luís Felipe Toledo. My current focus is on molecular biology and bioinformatics of amphibians and their pathogens. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The study of the evolutionary processes that originate phenotypic diversity is one of the most important endeavours in biology because it can offer insights into the process of adaptation in natural populations. Colouration patterns are remarkable traits for studying the mutational mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversity and how these affect patterns of evolutionary change [1,2]. Amon…
The genus Ischnocnema comprises 32 species divided into five species series. Among them, the I. guentheri species series contains 10 nominal species distributed mainly in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. The taxonomy of this species series has been greatly discussed over the past years and its phylogenetic position has been quite unstable. Also, within the I. guentheri species series, s…
In our project in Brazil (FAPESP #2014/05772-4) we investigate the species boundaries among the members of the Ischnocnema guentheri species series (Anura: Brachycephalidae) as well as the phylogenetic relationships among them, using an integrative taxonomy approach. Herein we propose to deepen in I. guentheri and I. henselii, which have shown to be a complex of at least six morphological…
