Have Degree in Biology Sciences, Methodist University of Piracicaba (1991) and PhD in Biology (Cellular and Molecular Biology) by Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2003). He is currently an associated professor at the Center for Agricultural Sciences - UFSCAR campus Araras and develops research projects in ecotoxicology of bees through the use of tools in the areas of Molecular and Cell Biology. Participates in projects developed in different countries in order to understand the impact of human actions on the dynamics of pollinators and pollination processes, especially bees. Part of the network established by the FAO / UN plan to cover deficiencies in knowledge about bees to establish new pathways for sustainable use of pollinators. (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 …
Bees are the main pollinators of both remnants of native areas as the main crops. However, the number of species and individuals per hive has decreased, which may be related to increased use of pesticides. The intense occupation of the environment by man and the consequent human activities have made the bees a group very susceptible to habitat loss and pesticide exposure. In addition to h…
The decline of pollinators has been widely discussed and associated with several factors, including the use of pesticides. Bees are the main pollinators of native plants and economically important crops and social bees are a group representative of these insects, within which stingless bees are found. Being Brazil a country with strong agricultural activity, it is necessary to know the ef…
Bees play a fundamental role as pollinators of native and cultivated plants. Among these insects, the Africanized bee Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) is considered an essential pollinator for several crops, mainly due to its generalist habit. However, besides this species, stingless bees deserve attention, as they can pollinate equally or even more efficiently than A. mellifera. Bee …
Representing 85% of the bee species already described, solitary bees suffer from a decline in their populations. The integration of these insects in agroforestry systems (AFS) can increase the chances of their conservation. With that in mind, this project intends to prove the efficiency of artificial nests for attracting different species of solitary bees in a AFS planned as an ecological…
Native bees are key pollinators for native and cultivated plants. Understanding the effects of the products used in crops on bees is crucial and can help to establish management measures that offer more protection. The objective of this study will be to evaluate the influence of different doses of the dicamba herbicides (1 / 8D, 1 / 4D, 1 / 2D, 1D, where D = the commercial dose of 480 g /…
The survey of native bees and their interactions with plant communities are of paramount importance in planning conservation strategies for native ecosystems. The decline of these pollinators in agricultural ecosystems is becoming more and more worrying as a large part of agricultural productivity depends on them. The aim of this study is to identify the floral sources of pollen used by T…
