Activity summary

Ecology and conservation of freshwater systems; malacology, in the areas of biodiversity, evolution patterns, population dynamics, dispersion patterns and adaptations to hydrological regimes, life cycles and parasitology. Research on bivalves from the order Unionoidea (freshwater mussels or Naiads), in the areas of systematics, reproductive biology, ecology and conservation biology.
