I have a BSc degree in Biology (2003) awarded by the University of Lisbon (Portugal), and a PhD in Ecology (2010) from the Imperial College London (U.K.). I am currently an Assistant Professor (Prof. Ayudante Doctora) at the Dep. Ecology, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). Previously I held a postdoctoral position in the University of Goiás (Goiânia, Brazil), another one in the Centre for Environmental Biology (now the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes; University of Lisbon, Portugal), a third one as a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC; Madrid, Spain), another one as a Juan de la Cierva (Incorporación) Postdoctoral Fellow at Universidad de Alcalá (Madrid, Spain), and finally I was also a Research Associate at the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes (cE3c) - Lisbon University (Lisbon, Portugal). I have broad interest in community ecology, biogeography, island biogeography, macroecology, and ecosystem functioning, having a special interest in arthropod groups. I am currently the coordinator of the Island Biology Interest Group (of the Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre and the Sociedade Portuguesa de Ecologia), having also been a member of the board of directors of the International Biogeography Society (acting as student-at-large between 2011 and 2013). I am a frequent reviewer for a large number of journals, acting as an editor for two journals: Global Ecology and Biogeography, and Journal of Animal Ecology. I have also experience in teaching, and I am currently supervising two PhD students and three undergraduate students (past students: one PhD student, two MSc students, and four undergraduate students).
