Raquel Vasconcelos leads expedition to Cabo Verde (2021)
News
Tropibio/Cibio researcher Raquel Vasconcelos and her student Catarina Pinho travelled to Fogo Island, in Cabo Verde to do research on terrestrial reptiles.
Their mission was to collect samples and to study the diet of these species. Like many regions in the Tropibio project, Fogo Island is relatively poorly known and this important expedition generated valuable data on the terrestrial reptiles that inhabit the region, contributing to our understanding how they may be involved in pollination and seed dispersal.
