MSc in Biology of the Continental Aquatic Environments Biology Program
I am a biologist interested in the analysis of the diet of birds. At the bachelor, I studied the trophic ecology of Giant Wood-Rail (Aramides ypecaha), through analysis of stomach contents and stable isotopes measures in different tissues of animals found dead in highways of Rio Grande do Sul. At the master's degree, I analyzed the food-resource partitioning between the herbivorous bird Southern Screamer (Chauna torquata), the cattle, and the sheep livestock on native prairie systems. At this work, I integrated stable isotopes analysis and metabarcoding in feces samples to characterize the diet of herbivores communities.
