Bio
Coming from a strong background in ecological entomology, I have moved towards evolutionary biology as main scientific area of activity. In the study of the evolutionary processes that have given rise to the present diversity of life, I am mainly interested in questions such as adaptation and speciation, the dynamic of symbionsis and the interplay between the different evolutionary forces. I have been using mainly two different approaches:
- Looking to present patterns to infer "what and when". An approach in the interaction between phylogenetics and ecology, making use of molecular genetics and computational techniques.
- Using controlled experiments to test hypotheses and evolutionary theories. An interdisciplinary approach that (re)plays processes in the lab, conducted within the context of the environment and evolution of the organism.
I have worked in different disciplines ranging from pest control to evolutionary biology, including ecology and genetics, and in this way I developed the appetite for working on the interplay of different disciplines, bringing together methods and techniques that are often dissociated.
Within the scientific area, my main technical skills are on microbial and molecular laboratory techniques; on methodologies of phylogenetic reconstruction and on population genetics; on fungal genetics; on morphometrics and on distribution modelling; and also competencies in concepts of biogeography, life-history and symbiosis evolution.
My area of scientific activity is also shown by looking at the journals that I have been publishing in: 20 publications on ISI-Web of Science journals (14 first author). Best publications (top 10% journals): Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - PNAS [1]; Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B [1]; Molecular Ecology [3]; Frontiers in Plant Science [1]. Four invited book chapters and one invited review paper.
And because the understanding of science by the general public is crucial for its impact, the press has also covered my work at different occasions: Paleontologists Discover Earliest Evidence of Insect Agriculture - Science news (June 2016, in English); Termites Have Been Building Bioreactors for 30 Million Years - ScienceDaily (September 2013, in English); Schone schimmeltuintjes – Bionieuws (April 2010, in Dutch); Termites travel with fungi as take-away food - Resource Magazine followed by in the national newspaper De Pers (October 2009, in Dutch); Térmitas, uma ameaça - television magazine of scientific divulgation (November 2002, in Portuguese).
