New project: NaturaConnect

The European Biodiversity Strategy 2030 commits Union Member States to legally protect a minimum of 30% of the European Union’s land and sea area and to strictly protect at least a third of these protected areas. European Members States are also committed to effectively manage conservation areas and to restore Europe’s natural capital, thus taking a leading role in the Post-2020 Convention on . . .

Miguel B. Araujo Lab – Resumo de investigação passada e reflexão sobre investigação futura

Quando um leigo me pergunta sobre o objeto da minha investigação, nem sempre é fácil de explicar numa frase. Na verdade, quem trabalha em biodiversidade trabalha com sistemas complexos. Logo, para entender estes sistemas, para os modelar, para projetar dinâmicas futuras, são diversas as ramificações por onde se estende a investigação. Consciente da dificuldade em sintetizar a diversidade muitos . . . [ Read More ]

SARS-CoV-2 and climate

As new cases of SARS CoV-2 (aka 2019-nCoV) Coronavirus are confirmed throughout the world and millions of people are being put into quarantine,  it is important to investigate the mix of factors affecting the spread of the epidemics. It is still early days, but, using existing data on positive cases of SARD-CoV-2 Coronavirus, Babak Naimi and I developed a large ensemble of 10 machine . . . [ Read More ]

Postdoc Position in Alien Trade Project

Link to the official call Background The deliberate or accidental introduction of species outside their native range is one of the main components of anthropogenic–induced global changes. Biological invasions have been increasing in number and affecting larger areas, with deep reaching impacts on ecosystems, economic activity and human welfare. As a result, invasive species now rank among . . . [ Read More ]
