Projects
Project 1 – Structure of the community of testate amoebae in the Ribeirão das Lajes Reservoir.
This Project evaluate the community of testate amoebae in the reservoir. Studying its species composition, distribution, richness, abundance, frequency of occurrence and tatistics of the community.
Project 2 – Environmental influences in Ribeirão das Lajes Reservoir community of testate amoebae.
This Project actuate in the interaction between testate amoebae and the reservoir’s environmental factors. It is a fundamental study to show the ecological importance of the community of testate amoebae and its biological responses (bioindication).
Project 3 - Atlas of the testate amoebae community of Ribeirão das Lajes Reservoir.
This Project actuate in the taxonomy of testate amoebae. Collecting data as photographies, measurements, identification keys, morphological notes, informations about ecology and taxonomic lists.
Project 4 – The scientific divulgation of the Ribeirão das Lajes Reservoir community of testate amoebae.
This Project actuate in the scientific divulgation, on the social media, of the reservoir’s testate amoebae community and the projects involved (previously mentioned).
