Project: Research Project

Project Details

Description

This project is part of the study of the characterization of Colombian biodiversity, seeking to clearly define the species of a genus of bioindicator odonates using a combination of state-of-the-art methods in genetics, genomics, and morphology. The establishment and knowledge of species is a question of vital importance in Basic Biological Sciences, not only to understand the evolutionary mechanisms involved in the generation of biological diversity, but also to establish conservation policies for the ecosystems to which the species belong.
