The Tropical Biology Laboratory (LBT), formerly an Animal Behavior Laboratory, was created in 2003 to meet the needs of a research project funded by Capes.
The Laboratory of Tropical Biology studies environmental, population biology, biodiversity conservation, and applied studies and projects involving fish, reptiles, mammals, insects, mollusc vectors, animal behavior, ichthyoparasitology, health & food safety in fish, environmental indicators, conservation biology and environmental education. The main research focuses of the Laboratory of Tropical Biology are: Ecology, Environmental Education, Animal Parasitology, and Health & Food Safety in Fish.
