Aldo Farah
Aldo Farah is an M.S. student whose current research focuses on the relationships between river flow and the response of freshwater fishes in the Amazon. He is also interested in exploring how these relationships could be at risk due to factors affecting the natural flow regimes of rivers. For his research, Aldo is planning on looking into the reproductive behavior of the Pimelodidae catfishes and the habitat use by the “boquichico”, Prochilodus nigricans, in a small Andean- Amazonian valley. He is also part of a multidisciplinary grad-student group looking into how the agricultural frontiers are interacting with different protected areas along the Amazon basin. In the past, he has worked on the mechanisms behind the river fragmentation process caused by different types of dams in Costa Rica.
