Thank you for being my references. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study represents part of the results of a larger work. The result of countless fieldworks, hundreds of sampled capybaras and thousands of kilometers traveled. I am immensely grateful to everyone who took part in this common effort. This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001. First of all, I would like to thank Professor Marcelo Bahia Labruna, who received me in his laboratory, trusted my potential even when I doubted myself and to whom I owe much of what I have built in my academic career so far. From scientific initiation to the end of the doctorate (and maybe beyond). To my (co)advisor who ended up becoming a great friend, Hermes Ribeiro Luz. Thank you for the countless help and conversations, in good and bad times. Thank you for all the knowledge transmitted. Your company was one of the reasons why I came to the end of this journey. I also have enormous gratitude for my friends and professional colleagues Daniel Magalhães “Magras” Lima and Vinícius “Pôhnei” Dayoub, whom have been with me since the beginning of this work, both in my personal and professional life. I would also like to thank the professors and also friends Ricardo Dias and Fábio Gregori, who always kept their door open and was always extremely available for my (countless) doubts in the execution of my analyzes. Thank you for helping with my academic formation. I was lucky to work several times with excellent professionals and researchers, even in extremely exhausting field situations. Diego, Bira, Xico, Matias, Vanessa, Richard and Daniel. I am very grateful that my career has crossed with yours. Many times I felt honored to be part of the same team. My good friends: André “Xena” Storti Martins, Felipe “Joca” Juscele, Matheus “Fuleco” Cavalini. Thank you for more than ten years of friendship. You are an important part of my life. Dom Walter and Bebeth, thank you very much for your endless patience and the wonderful family lunches and meetings at the weekends for the past two years. To a recent friend, with whom, in the few times we met, I invested several hours of good conversations about research, science, academicism and future opportunities. Juan Diaz Ricaurte, my friend, thank you for contributing on the beginning of my journey in Science. To all the laboratory colleagues, who have already graduated or are still here, as well as the technicians, Pedro, Renatinho e Márcio. Thank you for being part of an always pleasant and very good-humored day at VPS. Danival and Vanessa, I owe you a lot of gratitude for always, very promptly, solving any problems and doubts that might arise. All field work was carried out outside the city of São Paulo, which was only made possible by the competence and professionalism of the transport personnel. Fábio, Flávio, Cidão, Mazza, João, Ivan, Muma and Josué. Thank you for all your help over the past four years and for the company in the thousands of kilometers traveled. Field sampling were often made possible thanks to the tireless help of the teams in each location. I would like to thank all the teachers, technicians, professionals, interns and students who showed constant concern for the work to be carried out. Of course, I could not fail to thank all the capybaras who, involuntarily, were an indispensable part of this work. Finally, the most important pillars of my life. To whom I am and I will be forever grateful. Mom, dad, I love you unconditionally. Thank you for absolutely everything you've done for me. Affection, support, encouragement, confidence, studies. I owe all my achievements to the great work you did. My grandmothers, Zelda and Osmilda, who, unfortunately, are no longer with us, but from whom I keep only affection and good memories. Thank you for being part of my personal formation. Di, thanks for being there for me whenever I needed it. Physical distance has never been an issue for our friendship and fellowship. Thank you for the conversations, for listening and for helping with my daily life. Renan, my brother, thanks for being there, even for financial help whenever I needed it. Thank you for being such a companion and friend for the past thirty years. We have fought a lot in this life, but we always remain united. Camila, my life partner. I'm sure that without you, your listening, your support and
