Calebe P. Mendes

I am a research fellow in vertebrate ecology with the TEE Lab, deeply interested in how vertebrate communities interact with other ecosystem elements, such as invertebrates, plants, and pathogens. I am also interested in animal behavior, spatial ecology, statistics, and equipment development for scientific research.

I have worked in tropical, subtropical, and temperate forests, in Brazil, the USA, Malaysia, and Singapore. Currently, my aim is to investigate the cascading effects of African swine fever on multiple levels of Southeast Asian ecosystems.

When not working, I like fishing, rollerblading, and trying new things. My favorite tea is the Brazilian terere with lemonade.
