Joana Martins Fernandes

I have recently started my PhD in Biology and Ecology of Global Change at the University of Aveiro, Department of Biology, with the Wildlife Research Unit: "Land-use changes on human-shaped landscapes: do anthropogenic structures have a role on long-term conservation of biodiversity?". My MSc thesis was focused on the grazing effect on herpetofauna in a Mediterranean agroforestry landscape. My research interests are wildlife conservation and management, herpetology and wildlife genetics.
