Tea Zulcic

Tea graduated as Bachelor of Biology – Microbiology at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Sarajevo. Currently, she is doing a Master’s degree in Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto. Her master’s thesis aims to: i) characterise the parasite community of West African crocodile (Crocodylus suchus) and Guinea baboon (Papio papio) along an aridity gradient; ii) analyse environmental drivers of parasite diversity and turnover; iii) predict potential shifts in parasite diversity distribution in these species. Her interests are biodiversity conservation, evolutionary biology, microbiology, genetics, biogeography, herpetology, and marine biology.
