Research lines per researcher:a) Urban Avifauna
b) Wetland Avifauna
c) Myiopsitta monachus as an Invasive Species

a) Urban Avifauna: We analyze ecological aspects of bird communities in urban environments, as well as their relationship with the surrounding structure and the influence of human activities.

b) Wetland Avifauna: We gather information on bird communities in various types of aquatic systems to analyze ecological aspects, seasonal changes, and their relationship with habitat structure.

c) Myiopsitta monachus: Analysis of invasion and behavior of breeding colonies, as well as their relationship with human activities.
