CICYTTP (Centro de Investigación Científica y de Transferencia Tecnológica a la Producción)
The CICYTTP (CONICET-Prov. ER-UADER) focuses on research on Natural Sciences, mainly in the Entre Ríos province and optimizes actions to promote technology transfer in the different specialities. The main goals are to carry out basic and applied research in the areas of Biological Sciences, Earth Sciences and Archaeology. The CICYTTP develops diverse research, which encompasses the following subject areas: Modern palynology, Archaeology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Vegetation Ecology, Animal Ecology and Animal Production, Entomology, Insect Biology, Quaternary Plains Geology, Herpetology, Ornithology and Conservation, Palynostratigraphy, Paleobotany, and Vertebrate Paleontology. The CICYTTP has a communication area, the Espacio D- Ciencia, that generates links with scientific-educational institutions and the local community. Moreover, the CICYTTP researchers advises on the conservation, management, and protection of Cultural, Historical and Natural Heritage of the Entre Ríos province, on the control of crop pest insects, and on molecular biology and genetics.

• Evaluation of the turnover of woody plant communities and climatic changes during Plio-Pleistocene-Holocene from Northeast Argentina: from a wood anatomical and anthracological perspective.

Botany
• Floral biology of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and behaviour of honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) in relation to seed production and quality.
• Determination of contaminants of agricultural origin in Apis mellifera hives: access routes in relation to the degree of toxicity.
• Pollen diet assessment in generalist bees from natural and anthropized environments and its importance for the conservation of bees and native flora.
• Spatio/temporal fire patterns at the Paraná River Littoral Complex.
• Ecology of vegetation, native and implanted forest.

Zoology

Palaeobotany
• Dominated-grass ecosystems comparative studies in Argentina, with emphasis on the phytoliths analysis application to the paleontological knowledge of past and current floral composition.
• Phytolith analysis in fluvial sediments and pedological sequences of Upper Cenozoic.
• Paleobotanical studies: systematic, paleoecolgy and paleoclima of the arboreal paleocommunities from Mesozoic, Cenozoic and Quaternary of Argentina.
• Plant fossils of the Meso-Cenozoic from Argentina, with an emphasis on Paleoxyleological studies and their relationship to Paleoecology, Paleoclimatology and Paleobiogeography.

Palynostratigraphy and Palaeobotany
• Interdisciplinary studies of Palaeozoic and Cretaceous-Cenozoic palynology, microfossils and floras of South America and North America.
• Interdisciplinary studies of palynology, microfossils, and floras from the Permian and Cretaceous of India and their comparison with South America.
• Interdisciplinary studies of palynology and microfossils from the Paleozoic.
• Palynology of the Quaternary and current flora of Entre Ríos and Corrientes.

Vertebrate Paleontology
• Vertebrates from the Upper Cenozoic of Southern South America, with particular focus on Bird and Mammal faunas coming from the "Mesopotamian" (Ituzaingó Formation; late Miocene) and the Quaternary of Entre Ríos Province.
• Systematic, biogeography, biochronology and biostratigraphy of Quaternary mammals from the Southern of Argentinian Mesopotamia. Paleozoogeographical relationship with Pampean Region, Southern of Brazil, and Uruguay.
