About the Author | Rodrigo Barban Zucoloto, Universidade Federal da Bahia, BrazilGraduate degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Sao Paulo (1994), Master of Sciences (Nuclear Energy in Agriculture) from the University of Sao Paulo (1999) and Doctor of Sciences (Nuclear Energy in Agriculture) from the University of Sao Paulo (2003). Currently Associate Professor at Federal University of Bahia. He has experience in Genetics, with an emphasis in conservation genetics of Brazilian crocodilians, especially the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris). Patricia Susana Amavet, Universidad Nacional del Litoral, ArgentinaPh.D. in Biological Sciences (2009) from the University of Buenos Aires. Currently, she is a Professor of Genetics and Population Genetics at the University National of Litoral. She is a CONICET Researcher since 2010, coordinator of the Genetics Laboratory in UNL, and supervisor of three doctoral students and of one postdoc. She has extensive experience in Conservation Genetics of wild species, especially the Broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris), and she is a member of the Crocodile Specialists Group (SSC/IUCN) since 2002. Her research works include the topics of molecular ecology, population genetics, mating system studies, and phylogeographic analyses, mainly in reptiles and amphibians.
