Introduction
I am a Brazilian biologist and PhD student interested in animal behavior. I am currently studying questions in the interface between sexual selection and parental care, using harvestmen as a model.

Females of many species that exhibit exclusive paternal care prefer parental over non-parental males. According to the essential male care model, once males fulfill the minimum care requirements for offspring survival, they should allocate their surplus energy to advertise their good body condition and increase their attractiveness. To test this pr...
Natural cavities are monopolizable resources used as nest sites across many species exhibiting exclusive male care. However, our understanding of how the availability of this type of reproductive site influences male–male competition and the foraging costs associated with parental care is limited and based on studies of fish. The harvestman Magnisp...
Body size of organisms is often associated with physiological demands and habitat structure. Several theories and models have been proposed to explain body size trends across geographical space and evolutionary time. It is proposed that herbivores are larger due to their more voluminous digestive system, allowing a longer retention time of the dige...
Dominance hierarchies are typically stable, with dominants occupying central positions in social interaction networks. However, system perturbations, such as the removal of individuals, may cause instability, which varies according to the group’s
resilience. If the hierarchy undergoes a restructuring, this can occur through a dynamic process of sel...
Although the diversity of animal groups distributed in Brazil provides countless research opportunities, the current scenario does not follow this demand. The reasons for the disconnections range from inequality in the availability of resources for teaching and research to the focus of researchers on specific groups of animals, while others remain...

O uso do álcool gel em procedimento de antissepsia das mãos e desinfecção de superfícies representa uma prática frequente nas instituições de saúde. Com a pandemia Covid-19, tornou-se hábito da população o uso do mesmo. O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar características físico-químicas bem como a eficácia microbiológica de diferentes marcas de álc...
Balantioides coli is a ciliated protozoan with worldwide distribution, which parasites several species, especially the pig. In this work, it was presented the first possible case of parasitism by B. coli in white-lipped peccaries in Brazil. The 13 fecal samples were collected from white-lipped peccaries kept in the Zoológico Municipal de Curitiba,...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropica...
Esta pesquisa teve por finalidade propor medidas que pudessem ser tomadas para amenizar a questão das zoonoses ocasionadas por cães abandonados nas ruas do Bairro Faxinal – Mafra, SC. Caracterizou-se com pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa de campo e pesquisa ação. Foi efetuada pesquisa de campo, com verificação “in loco”, para constatar a existência...
