I am a biologist from the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). I have a master's and PhD in Ecology/Entomology by the University of São Paulo (USP - CAPES 7), supervised by professor Kleber Del Claro and professor Denise Lange, with an exchange program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL), USA, PDSE-CAPES scholarship, supervised by Professor Dr. Robert Marquis. I develop research projects at the Laboratory of Behavioral and Interaction Ecology (LECI) Coordinated by prof. Dr. Kleber Del Claro. I improve my knowledge in the area of Ecology, with an emphasis on animal-plant interactions, (especially insect-plant), animal behavior, and community ecology. Currently, my areas of work comprise: Animal-plant interaction; Biodiversity; Community ecology; Hotspots; Conservation biology; Climate change.
