Undergraduate in Biology, Universidad Simón Bolívar, Caracas, Venezuela (2006)
Patricia is an evolutionary ecologist, biogeographer, and phylogeneticist who studies histories of populations and species at different geographic and evolutionary scales. During her PhD, Patricia specialized in the fields of phylogenetics and systematics, studying the evolutionary history of frogs endemic to high-altitude plateaus (tepuis) in southern Venezuela. During her six years as a postdoctoral researcher, Patricia delved into genomic tools for studying non-model species, and participated in a diverse array of projects related to conservation genomics, island biogeography, and ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, targeting a wide range of taxa. On her projects, Patricia has worked from developing and designing the field sampling and genomic library preparations, to running the bioinformatics pipeline and downstream analyses. Patricia joined the faculty at Ikiam in October 2019, and hopes to build many genomics projects with local and international collaborators that will address pressing questions about Andean and Amazonian biodiversity and conservation

Ph.D. in Animal Behavior, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España (2014)
Undergraduate in Biology, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España (2008)
Sara is an ecologist who seeks to understand the evolution of animal social behavior and the ecological factors driving interactions within ecosystems. She also works with plant-animal interactions, mammal monitoring within protected areas and buffer zones, and evaluating faunal rehabilitations and reintroductions for generating more informed release protocols, including environmental educational programs. Sara is the vice-president of the Primate Study Group from Ecuador (GEPE), an important initiative developing an Action Plan for Primate Conservation in Ecuador and a part of the species survival comission of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group. Sara has enormous passion understanding community and ecosystem interactions with a particular focus on animal behavior, conservation, management, education, and human behavior.
