Professor at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Lizandra Jaqueline Robe has experience in the field of Genetics, with an emphasis on Animal and Evolutionary Genetics, developing researches seeking to understand micro and macroevolutionary patterns and processes related to the diversification of Neotropical fauna. She guides master’s and doctoral students in two Brazilian graduate programs:
At UFSM, in the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Biodiversidade Animal (PPGBA – Graduate Program in Animal Biodiversity), she is linked to the research line entitled “Sistematics and Evolutionary Ecology”, working with molecular markers as tools for understanding ecological and evolutionary questions within and among species of Drosophilidae (Diptera);
At FURG, in the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Biologia de Ambientes Aquáticos Continentais (PPGBAC – Graduate Program in Biology of Continental Aquatic Environments) she is linked to the research line entitled “Animal Biology in Continental Aquatic Environments”, working with molecular markers as tools for understanding taxonomic, phylogenetic and phylogeographic aspects in annual fish and aquatic invertebrates.
