ABout us
Who we are
We are a research group investigating the reproductive biology of snakes, lizards, and amphisbaenians.
Our research focuses on various topics such as gametogenesis, fecundity, sperm storage, life history, embryonic development, and reproductive behavior. We use anatomical, physiological, ecological, and evolutionary approaches.
The group was established in 2011 by Dr. Selma Almeida-Santos (the principal investigator) and her students at that time Henrique Braz, Karina Kasperoviczus, Claudio Rojas, Veronica Barros, Leticia Sueiro, Livia Santos, and Maria Adelaida Hoyos.
We are very collaborative and have worked with researchers from various institutions.
We also seek to disseminate knowledge and stimulate scientific debate through courses and workshops.
