Gabrielle Pacheco is a biologist from the Federal University of Lavras. She is currently a master degree student in Applied Ecology in the same University. Her dissertation project concerns the ecology and conservation of cave invertebrates from Guatemala.
Gilson Argolo is a Biologist from the Federal University of Lavras. He worked with taxonomy and description of species of Opiliones genus Eusarcus (Gonyleptidae - Pachylinae). He is currently master student in Apllied Ecology at UFLA and developing him dissertation with structure and dynamics associated with superficial subterranean habitats (SSH).
Laís Furtado Oliveira is a Biologist and Master at the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), where she is currently developing her doctoral research in the Applied Ecology program, seeking to understand the influence of different geographic and ecological parameters on the structuring of cave invertebrate communities at local levels, regional of the African continent.
Leandro Mata da Rocha Melo Is a Biologist and Master's science at UFLA. He developed him master's project with a survey of the sand flies fauna in caves. Currently he is doctor student in the postgraduate program in apllied ecology at UFLA , developing studies on the importance maintaning microhabitats on the floor of caves for the conservation and management of fauna.
Paulo César Reis Venâncio Is a biologist from the Universidade Federal de Lavras. He is currently a master student in Apllied Ecology in the same university. He develops in him project, studies to understand the relationship of variations in the cave substrate and variations in luminosity on the structuring of cave invertebrate communities in the karst region of Iuiú, in the southwest of the state of Bahia.
Vitor Gabriel Pereira Junta is a Biologist from the Federal University of Lavras. He is currently a master student in Apllied Ecology in the same University. He works with commuinities of cave invertebrates, tryng to understand how the characteristics of the habitat influence the richness and composition of the caves in the municipality of Santana, Bahia. He works too in the area of orthopteran taxonomy, where they work with genera found in caves, especially the Phalangopsidae family.
Alícia Helena Souza Rodrigues Ferreira has a degree in Biology from Federal University of Lavras (UFLA). It is a master degree student in Applied Ecology from the same University. It is developing a research that aims to understand the physicial, tropic and microclimatic attributes that determine and structure the cave invertebrates communities in Serra do Ramalho-BA.
