Positions

Biopolis is the largest Portuguese project in Environmental Biology, Ecosystems and Biodiversity. It will transform CIBIO into an international superstructure linking scientific research with civil society and the business sector to address the emerging global challenges.

The main strategic pillars of BIOPOLIS are i) Environment and biodiversity assessment and monitoring, ii) Ecosystem Function, Services and Restoration and iii) Agrobiodiversity, conservation and competitiveness of local genetic resources and farming systems.

I am currently an Auxiliary Researcher at Associação BIOPOLIS, working within the Behavioural Ecology Group.

As the IUCN global authority on these animals — which are found all over the world, many of them threatened — the SPS SG works with scientists, conservationists, governments and other groups to ensure that wild populations are healthy and well-managed.

On this site you’ll find information on the work of our Specialist Group, including species profiles, conservation assessments, conservation actions to protect threatened species, and other valuable resources such as bibliographies and information about how you can get involved.

I am currenlty the Climate Change Focal Point for the SPS SG.

I am an Invited Auxiliary Professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, teaching Animal Behaviour, Behavioural Ecology, Ecology and Data Analysis.

From 2005-2010, I was an Auxiliary Professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Fernando Pessoa University, teaching modules such as Microbiology, Parasitology, Behaviour or Cellular Biology.
