Catarina Siopa is a researcher in the areas of crop pollination, pollination ecology and insect conservation. Currently, she is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the PolinizAÇÃO project. She completed her PhD In Biosciences in September 2024 at the Universidade de Coimbra, funded by FCT through an individual grant (2020-2024). She has also a Master's in Ecology and a Bachelor's in Biology at the Universidade de Coimbra. She has a national and international network, resulting in 18 published articles (including 12 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 3 as first author ). She participates/has participated in 7 projects (funded by Interreg Sudoe, FCT, CAPES, Centro2020). In their professional activities, she interacted with 97 different collaborators. Participation in meetings and seminars is a common activity, with several oral presentations and posters of her developed work (5 invited seminars and 6 presentations in conferences as presenter). During her PhD, she led the development of the PolLimCrop dataset, a global resource on pollen limitation in crops, enabling insights into pollination deficits and agricultural productivity. She was also the lead author of the compilation of pollinator dependence levels of crops, an important tool for researchers and stakeholders. In her thesis, she also assessed the temporal trends of pollen limitation and performed a series of studies on sweet cherry, from the floral biology aspects to the impact of landscape composition on pollination services. She has significant experience in pollinator identification, pollen tube observation, statistical analysis (R), and GIS applications. She has taught courses (master and advanced courses) in pollen identification, pollinator census methods and pollen tube observation. She has tutored national and international students (bachelor and master level) in their fieldwork and laboratory techniques. Regarding science communication activities, she actively engages in public outreach activities (<10), with several lectures and hands-on workshops for diverse audiences, including farmers, producers, students and the general public, to raise awareness of the importance and role of pollinators.
