Bachelor in Biology (2004-2007) and PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology (2008-2013), University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Currently, I am an assistant professor at the São Paulo State University (Unesp), Institute of Biosciences, São Vicente, focusing on Animal and Plant Genetics. I advise graduate students (MSc. and PhD.) in two programs : Coastal Biodiversity (UNESP, São Vicente), and Biological Sciences - Genetics (UNESP, Botucatu). Main research interests: population genetics, phylogeography and evolutionary biology (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The rapid human-driven environmental changes pose novel biotic and abiotic conditions to organisms. They may either respond through migration that allows them to change their distribution or through persistence via adaptation by natural selection or via phenotypic plasticity. Failing to respond properly may lead to a species' local or global extinction. While trees species are threatened …
This proposal details the application of the resources from the institutional infrastructure to support research at São Paulo State University (Unesp), Institute of Biosciences, São Vicente, for 2018 fiscal year. The technical reserve usage described herein aims to meet the needs of more than ten research groups by: 1) acquisition of permanent material to be used in the multi-user laborat…
Local adaptation involves the process of natural selection resulting in an absolute increase in fitness and the prevalence of individuals with higher performance in their original environment. Gene flow has the potential to either promote or hinder local adaptation. Some species present remarkable dispersal ability over long distances, connecting spatially distant populations with implica…
The Neotropical Realm is one of the planet's most diverse and species-rich regions, yet definitive explanations for such diversity remain unclear. Within the Neotropical context, phylogeography becomes particularly relevant, offering valuable insights about the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. The integration of phenotypic analyses, particularly concerning functional traits like le…

Studies about factors related to the reproductive success of species allow us to understand the adaptive meaning of these characteristics, fundamental for the adaptation processes in populations. Ants make up complex social organizations in which virgin males and queens fly from parental nests to mate. However, some species may have variations in the breeding system. For example, a queen …
Dispersal is a crucial mechanism to living beings, allowing them to reach new resources such that populations and species can explore new environment conditions. However, describing dispersal mechanisms of species that can travel thousands of kilometers can be costly or even impracticable, which is the case for mangrove trees. The dispersal and distribution of these trees have been studie…
Ants emerged in the Mesozoic and later diversified along with the angiosperms. These insects dominated all continents, except for Antarctica and some oceanic islands. Much of this achievement may be related to eusociality, a feature also observed in different organisms as termites and bees, and to the diversity of life strategies these animals possess, such as diet habits and complex and …

The field of molecular ecology has greatly benefited with the development of next generation sequencing. Currently, it is possible to obtain a huge amount of genetic data faster and cheaper than ever before, allowing one to more readily access hundreds or thousands of single nucleotide polymorphism markers, SNPs, to answer evolutionary and ecological questions. Several methods were develo…
Global climate changes (GCC) are alterations on the climate properties whose causes may still be questioned but whose biological effects are unquestionable. Despite of its impact on living beings, they and the velocity of these changes is heterogeneous regarding the organism and the ecosystem, for example, mangrove forests are projected to be one of the most influenced environments. Recen…
