Tânia Minhós is an Associate Professor at the School of Social Sciences and Humanities of Universidade Nova de Lisboa since 2015 at the Anthropology department and current Coordinator of the Anthropology undergraduate course . She as published 17 scientific papers in international journals, three book chapters, gave over 30 talks at national and international meeting and has supervised over 10 undergrad and graduate students. Mainly interested in combining cross-disciplinary data to address questions related with evolution and adaptation of non-human primates inhabiting anthropogenic habitats. Habitat loss/fragmentation and poaching constitute the main threats to the survival of most primate natural populations across the globe. Most non-human primates overlap their territories with human altered landscapes and share and compete for resources with the local communities, posing great risks to both. It is my main research interest to apply methodologies from different scientific areas to gain insights on the human-non human primate interactions and address conservations challenges faced in anthropogenic environments. I combine socio-ecological, genomic, anthropological, landscape and susceptibility to infectious diseases data in order to understand what are the main determinants for population viability in primate threatened species exhibiting different social systems (group size, dispersal system, dispersal ability) and inform conservation practitioners on strategies aiming at the long-term conservation of non-human primates and at the same time consider the local populations practices and needs. Such broader (different primate species) and combined (different types of data) approaches are still lacking in primate studies and are crucial to fully understand, model and predict their survival ability when facing such widespread and increasingly threats.
