About this event
Join us as we welcome Rafaela Missagia as she presents The Rise of Predatory Rats: Using New Techniques to Investigate Adaptation. Rafaela is an evolutionary biologist from Brazil and centers her research on the morphological diversity of mammals and its correlation with ecological aspects. She primarily explores the themes of morphological evolution, functional morphology, and macroevolution. Currently, her work is dedicated to investigating the adaptive aspects of predatory behavior in rodents. Rafaela is also involved in promoting gender diversity in science, being one of the founders of the Women in Science group at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
Please join us in Ward Hall on the lower level. If unable to attend in person, register to attend virtually.
