Bachelor in Biological Science (UNESP) and Master in Ecology and Evolution (UFG). I am a PhD candidate in Ecology and Biodiversity (UNESP) interested in understand how landscape structure, lack of large seed disperser and intraspecific variation shape microevolutionary process and gene dispersal.
Project:
Ecological and genetic effects of seed size variation in defaunated landscapes - under the advice of Mauro Galetti (UNESP), Pedro Jordano (CSIC, Seville), and with collaboration of Marina Cortes (UNESP) and Milton C. Ribeiro (UNESP)/ In my first year of my thesis I visited the laboratory of Pedro Jordano at Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Seville, Spain.
Grants and Funding:
I receive my PhD grant from FAPESP (process 2014/01029-5) and received grant from Cnpq (process 401258/2012-2) to go to CSIC, Seville. Part of my study is funded by Cnpq (process 401258/2012-2 and 477843/2011-5).
