PhD candidate at Ecology and Biodiversity, UNESP – Rio Claro. Master in Ecology and Biodiversity from Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, Rio Claro (2015). Graduate in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, Ilha Solteira (2010). Currently develops works at the Landscape ecology and Conservation Laboratory (LEEC) - Unesp, Rio Claro, under the advisor of Prof. Dr. Milton Cezar Ribeiro, working on the following topics: medium and large mammals, movement ecology and landscape ecology.
Project:
Influence of landscape structure in movement patterns and population density of the crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous). This proposal aims to understand how the landscape structure influences population dynamics and possible population persistence of the crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) in the Pantanal biome landscape. Advised by Milton C. Ribeiro and Luiz G. R. Oliveira-Santos (UFMS, Campo Grande - MS).
Grants and Funding:
Part of my study is funded by FAPESP (process 2013/50421-2).
