General objective
TO TRAIN A GRADUATE WHO, BASED ON A MASTERY OF SYSTEMATICS, IS CAPABLE OF DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING RESEARCH PROJECTS AIMED AT CHARACTERIZING THE ANIMAL COMPONENT OF TERRESTRIAL AND AQUATIC COMMUNITIES, GENERATING FUNDAMENTAL INFORMATION FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION OF FAUNAL RESOURCES.

Specific objectives
– To develop skills that allow the student to identify, interpret and critically analyze problems in the area of systematics.
– To train graduates who are able to synthesize information and use it to generate new knowledge that contributes to the understanding of the patterns and causes of faunal diversity.
– To train graduates with the ability to communicate scientific knowledge in different academic contexts and in society in general.

Applicant Profile

The Master of Science in Zoology is primarily aimed at professionals with a professional degree or academic qualification in Biology or related fields who have completed a thesis, seminar, research dissertation, or other academic work applying the scientific method. Applicants should demonstrate an interest in acquiring knowledge and skills for developing projects and solving problems in multidisciplinary contexts and be interested in joining research teams.

Graduate profile

The program enables graduates to work in different fields of their specialty, both in higher education teaching and in research on fauna in the field of systematics, developing phylogenetic proposals, combining analyses of morphological, genetic and biogeographical attributes of organisms and identifying zoogeographical areas of evolutionary and conservation interest.

Lines of investigation

– Systematics (i.e., Phylogenetic Systematics and Taxonomy): Research line focused on the description and interpretation of processes associated with the origin and distribution of biodiversity, using traditional and molecular taxonomic approaches.
– Macro and Microevolutionary Processes: Research line focused on the search for historical patterns at the micro and macroevolutionary level, as well as the potential processes that would generate these patterns on a spatial and temporal scale.
– Biodiversity: Research line aimed at describing biodiversity using traditional and molecular taxonomic approaches.
