I am an undergraduate student of Biological Sciences at UNESP (Rio Claro-SP). I am interested in how endangered neotropical primates are using the different types of matrix surrounding forest remnants and what distance they are able to travel within the matrix to get to other fragments. Furthermore, we want to understand the effects of the landscape connectivity in their geographic distribution.
