During the Fall 2015 semester, the Winemiller Aquatic Ecology Lab has been hosting two visiting scientists from Brazil. Rodrigo Ferreira Bastos is a doctoral student from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil, and Larissa Strictar Pereira is a doctoral student from the Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Maringá, Brazil. Rodrigo is researching the trophic ecology of fishes and food webs in coastal ecosystems using stable isotope methods. Larissa is investigating the implications of cannibalism for fish population and community ecology. Both students will return to Brazil early next year.
