Welcome! I am a professor at the Universidade Federal de Jataí (UFJ) in Brazil.

​

I study mammal ecology and evolution. My primary goals are investigating why particular lineages are more morphologically diverse than others; identifying the main ecological and evolutionary mechanisms behind the emergence of geographic and temporal patterns of phenotypic change; and understanding the heritability and dissemination of morphological diversity along the taxonomic hierarchy.

​

My research is currently funded by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the American Society of Mammalogists.
