About me
​Hi! My name is Quezia Ramalho. I was born and live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have a PhD and master's degree in Ecology and Evolution and a bachelor's degree in Biology from Rio de Janeiro State University. I am completely in love with Brazilian biodiversity (especially, amphibians) and spatial data analysis. I like understanding anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity in different spatial scales.
​
See you later!
