Responsibilities inside unit
I am in charge of promoting research on macroecology. It is a transversal position in ISYEB, in which I work with different taxonomists, phylogeneticists and evolutionary biologists aiming at answering major questions about the distribution, evolution and conservation of biodiversity. My main role is to define the protocols, identify or develop the adequate methods and procedures to answer the proposed questions.
For doing this work I often rely on data of systematic and occurrence from the Museum’s collections, and on data available in mega-databases.
I am particularly interested in the following issues:
- Conservation of phylogenetic diversity as a means of maintenance of options from biodiversity to future generations
- The importance of Natural History Collections as a resource for the science aiming to understand/halt and reverse the impacts of global changes
- The biodiversity of the Anthropocene : the impacts of the Alien Invasive Species on local faunas and floras.
Responsibilities outside unit
- National Focal Point to the Convention on Biological Diversity
- Lead author of the working group on the Invasive Alien Species for the European Union and Member States to the COP 15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
- Coordinator of the working group on the Invasive Alien Species for the European Union and Member States to the SBSTTA 24 of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
- Lead author of the working group on the Invasive Alien Species for the European Union and Member States to the SBSTTA 24 of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
- Member of the IUCN SSC Phylogenetic Diversity Task Force

Presentation
Background
I grew up in Brazil and studied at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, where I got a master in Ecology and a PhD in Geography. After my PhD I moved to Paris to work in this research team, where I had the opportunity of developing researches on phylogenetic, systematics and evolutionary biology. These experiences gave me the familiarity with several disciplinary fields, which is indispensable to develop my present work.
Lab News
- I am happy to share the replay of the side-event on « The tree of life: Conserving our evolutionary heritage to ensure benefits for future generations » that happened during the SBSTTA 24 à Geneva on March 26th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By0AHbZUjNs
Now in Geneva attending the SBSTTA 24, in my role of French delegate responsible for the item on Invasive Alien Species. https://www.cbd.int/conferences/geneva-2022/schedules
Everything is ready for the side-event on the Conservation of the Tree of Life that I am organizing with my colleagues from the Phylogenetic Diversity Task Force https://www.pdtf.org/cbd during the SBSTTA 24 https://www.cbd.int/side-events/4236
We expect to mobilize CBD parties to the need of a Headline Indicator for this fundamental biodiversity variable.
- It is a big pleasure to announce that the book « Natural History Collections: An Essential Resource for Science in 21st Century » is now published.
- Happy to announce the publication the book « Les Collections Naturalistes Dans La Science Du XXIe Siècle : Une Ressource Durable Pour La Science Ouverte ».

If you want to discuss about Phylogenetic Diversity, Functional Trait diversity, and many other questions related to Biodiversity please contact me.
Congratulations to the colleagues involved in the realization of The Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna (TCBF). Due to this enormous effort now we can find a list with more than 116 thousand species of the brazilian Fauna online.
I am happy to participate to this endeavor as the coordinator responsible for the group Blattaria.
