Terrestrial Ecology
The Terrestrial Ecology is one of three academic departments of the Faculty of Natural Sciences (FCN). Its activities are based on the three fundamental pillars of the university Lúrio, namely: Teaching, Research and academic extension. Teaching is fundamentally dedicated to technical scientific training in the field of terrestrial ecology and socio-environmental relations of candidates for FCN biologists. In research, investigations are focused on inventories and study of distribution patterns of entomological, herpetological, ornithological, mastological fauna, socio-environmental interactions, as well as climate change in the context of ecological responses to climate change.
