We are interested in ecology and natural history of herpetofauna, especially amphibians. There are many questions to be answered in this world, but the questions that most intrigue us are related to metacommunity ecology.

​

Our main interests are:

- Evaluate the effects of changes in land use in the structure and dynamics of metacommunities;

- Understand the processes and mechanisms that generate and maintain the temporal and spatial patterns of metacommunities;

​

- Understand the effects of urbanization in metacommunity dynamics;

​

- Comprehend how different factors (biotic, abiotic, evolutionary and anthropic) interfere with the acoustic communication of amphibians;

​

- Natural history of anurans and tadpoles.
