Description

OBJECTIVES

Purpose

Conservation of biodiversity through the study of biological communities, the mechanisms of dispersal and colonization of plants and animals, autoecology and the behavior of species

goals

- to know the relationships between animal organisms and plants in seed dispersal.

- to know the colonization capacity of new territories in plants for their application to the restoration of degraded spaces

- to study of dispersal strategies in birds and their implications on social organization, population genetics and species conservation

- to study of chemical communication in mammals and their importance in behavior and in their social organization

- to know the ecology of threatened animal species to be applied in their conservation

- to study of organisms as bioindicators of the quality of ecosystems

- to study of behavioral ecology and its application in conservation

- creation of seed banks of interest in the conservation of biodiversity

RESEARCH LINES

To understand the relationships between animals and plants in the dispersal of seeds.
