The postgraduate program in Ecology and Evolution (CAPES Concept: 4) is dedicated to the study of the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. This program offers comprehensive, interdisciplinary training aimed at understanding the interactions between organisms and the environment, as well as the evolutionary mechanisms that generate and maintain biological diversity.
Students have the opportunity to engage in innovative research that addresses critical questions in conservation biology, population ecology, evolutionary genetics, behavioral ecology, and other related fields. The program also emphasizes the importance of the practical application of scientific knowledge for the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable management of natural resources.
