Tuane L. Carvalho, Phd
My research interests include to understand the evolutionary patterns and processes associated with the diversification of flower-breeding drosophilids groups in the Neotropics and the molecular adaptations that allowed the development of antophilic habits by genetics and genomics approach.

Jéssyca Bressan Schwantes, MsC
Phd Student at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Primates of the Alouatta genus have seen population declines driven by fragmentation and disease. In this context, the present work aims to address the influence of anthropic fragmentation, in contrast to the areas of natural limits, in the isolation of populations, taxonomic groups and in the formation of contact zones between species.

Maiara Hartwig Bessa, MsC
Phd Student at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria My research project aims to investigate the evolutionary history of the Zygothrica group of Drosophilidae and their ecological transitions using a phylogenomic approach. CV Lattes |
Caylon Rodrigues das Chagas
Msc Student at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria I seek to access the distribution patterns of the taxonomic diversity of Drosophilidae (Diptera) in little explored regions of the Brazilian Amazon Forest, through estimates of alpha and beta diversity of species collected in Malaise, seeking to correlate these patterns with different characteristics of the environment.

Lucas Assunção Antunes Marques
Msc Student at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Primates of the genus Alouatta are among those most affected by arboviruses in the Neotropical region. In this sense, my study aims to evaluate the interspecific differences in genes associated with resistance to Yellow Fever, in addition to tracing the genetic profile and searching for potential differential adaptive signals.

Estêvão de Lima Benhard
Msc at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria My research aims to deepen my understanding of the diversity, evolution, and ecology of the parasites of the Bertiella genus. I'm focusing on the relationship between these parasites and their definitive hosts in the Neotropics, especially primates that are phylogenetically close to Homo sapiens. In this sense, we aims to study the diversity in the genus, addressing taxonomic issues, genetic diversity, biogeography and species delimitation in different hosts, including endangered and non-endangered wild animals, both in the wild and in captivity.

Fernanda de Lacerda Freire, Msc
Phd at Universidade Federal de Rio Grande I work with annual fishes, assessing genetic, morphological, and ecological differences among populations and species within the Austrolebias adloffi group. I attempt to associate these differences with the conservation status of their habitats. My primary focus is on populations of A. charrua, where I conduct ecotoxicology studies and evaluate their adaptation to climate change. CV Lattes |
