I am a spatial biologist interested in monitoring biodiversity and Earth's health through Earth Observation, using GIS, Remote Sensing, Ecological Niche Modelling, and Spatial Statistics. My main research lines relate to spatial ecology, biogeography, biodiversity modelling and conservation, road ecology, and distribution atlases. I use amphibians and reptiles as main species models, but I also work with other flora and fauna groups.

Since 2007, I have been the chairman of the Mapping Committee of the Societas Europaea Herpetologica, where I coordinate the Atlas of Europe of amphibians and reptiles. I am currently PI of the MontObEO project, the Montesinho Biodiversity Observatory: https://montobeo.wordpress.com/.
