Publications

Through my scientific career, I have established important international partnerships and worked collaboratively to ensure the development of 30 papers (please, see the publications below). I worked with researchers in Brazil, England and Angola to developed numerous articles associated with the impact and drivers of illegal hunting, including on endangered species such as elephant and pangolin. I also worked with researchers from Peru, Colombia and Spain on the impact of oil companies promoting an increase in human disturbances on fauna. With researchers from all these countries, I also developed studies on the animal abundance in the Amazon. Expanding even more my international network, I have collaborated with researchers from the United States and Australia, publishing articles on illegal hunting of carnivores and fish trade. Finally, with researcher of other countries in South America (such as Guyana and Colombia) and also researcher from Asian countries (such India and China), I have been develop 2 big projects which are resulting in 6 articles on wildlife trade.
