Bio
She is a marine naturalist since a childhood on the intertidal coastline during the summer. Her hometown, Vila do Conde, has a traditional fishery and ocean exploration history, which influenced her path. By studying at the Azores, this archipelago was her main field to develop research on corals from the deep sea. Her research targeted several disciplines such as fisheries impact, ecology and biology, but it is now mainly focused on taxonomy of Octocorallia from the NE Atlantic Ocean.
She is an explorer which has collected and observed corals on the field during 16 research cruises. During her master studies, DNA Barcoding and systematics were learned as tools that complement morphological species hypothesis. After being more than a decade collecting, cataloguing, storing and teaching curation of a biological collection, COLETA, she has understood the high value of natural history collections and taxonomists. Therefore, her PhD travelled through European museums collecting type and reference specimens to compare with fresh samples and do taxonomy of octocorals.
Her expertise is motivated by the interest on octocorals ́ biodiversity, taxonomy and conservation. Beyond the knowledge that enables the characterization and classification of species, she is also interested on the history animals can tell regarding systematics, ecology, patterns of evolution, phylogenetics and zoogeography. Therefore, she is keen to pursue a career as curator and to use an integrative approach encompassing morphology, molecular tools, and zoogeography, to support the protection of octocoral communities.
