Valentín Zárate – PhD.

About Me

I am a biologist with a PhD in Biological Sciences from the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. I am currently a CONICET Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Instituto de Biología Subtropical (CONICET–UNaM). My research focuses on animal movement ecology and conservation, particularly understanding how wildlife uses human-modified landscapes. During my PhD, I studied the movement ecology of black capuchin monkeys and their conflicts with forestry. I currently work on jaguar movement and ecological connectivity in the Atlantic Forest. I am interested in applying quantitative ecology and spatial analysis to generate knowledge that supports wildlife conservation and promotes coexistence between wildlife and people.
