Amanda Oliveira Travessas
MSc. in Biology of the Continental Aquatic Environments Biology Program, 2019-present
My research interest is in the diet and resources partitioning among four Heron species (Bubulcus ibis, Egretta caerulea, Egretta thula, and Nycticorax nycticorax) in a breeding colony at the ‘Lagoa dos Patos’ estuary. My dissertation involves the identification and quantification of prey in pellets and regurgitates, as well as stable isotopes analysis. I am also experienced with the identification of prey in the diet of Barn Owl (Tyto furcata) in pellets from different environments (urban and rural) as an undergraduate student. I am also a member of the UNIPAMPA Bird Watchers Group.

Bruno de Andrade Linhares
MSc. student in Biological Oceanography, 2020
I am a marine biologist broadly interested in the ecology and conservation of aquatic birds and coastal-marine environments. While a bachelor student, I integrated different methods to study the breeding biology, feeding ecology, and local movements of American Oystercatchers (Haematopus palliatus) at an urbanized beach in southern Brazil. For my dissertation, I intend to investigate the ecological role of seabirds in transporting nutrients across food webs of tropical ecosystems, as well as the impact of invasive alien species on these environments.

Caroline Dias Gabani
MSc. student in Biological Oceanography, 2018-present
I am a Biological Oceanography MSc student. I am currently working with tracking and movement ecology of the Atlantic-yellow-nosed-albatross (Thalassarche chlororhynchos). In parallel, I am also collaborating with David Nicholls, an Australian researcher focused on wind dynamics in albatrosses’ flight. I am also experienced with the evolutionary ecology of fruit flies and monarch butterflies. My interests include programming, fiction writing, and illustration.

Felipe Caseiro Silva
MSc. student in Biology of the Continental Aquatic Environments Biology Program, 2019-present
In my dissertation, I will analyze the nutrients flow between the aquatic and terrestrial environments, carried by Herons in a breeding colony at the ‘Lagoa dos Patos’ estuary. I will use stable isotopes analysis to understand patterns of nutrients transportation across food webs.

Francisco Neto
I am a biologist interested in the trophic ecology of the shorebirds. As a masters’ degree student I will investigate the trophic niche partitioning and feeding relationships of bird assemblages in southeastern Brazil.

Mariana Scain Mazzochi
MSc student in the Biological Oceanography, 2020
I am a biologist, currently investigating the role of biotic and abiotic factors in population structuring of Brown noddy (Anous stolidus) in Brazil. I am also experienced with the morphology of seabirds, mainly in osteology of albatrosses and petrels (Procellariiformes), and seabird-fishermen ethnobiology.

Vitória Muraro
MSc student in the Biological Oceanography, 2017-present
I am a biologist interested in ornithology. During my bachelor studies, I investigated the Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) diet using stomach content analysis and stable isotopes. I am also experienced with studies on the population structure of Red-footed Booby (Sula sula) in Southwest Atlantic Ocean colonies, using analysis of the microsatellites markers to test divergence in living and extinct populations. I have been volunteering for four years on the rehabilitation of marine animals at the ‘Centro de Recuperação de Animais Marinhos’ – CRAM-FURG.
