Curriculum Vitae

António Onofre Costa Miranda Soares

Graduated in Biology (Speciality in Education) at University of Coimbra (1988). PhD in Biology (Speciality in Ecology), University of the Azores (2001). Aggregation title in Ecology (2020). Since 2023, Associate Professor at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of the Azores. Coordinator of the 3rd cycle of studies in Biology (3CBIO), in which also teaches. Already coordinated 2nd cycle of studies on Biodiversity and Biotechnology. Head of courses of Ecology at under-graduate and graduate levels. Training and career development of researchers, by supervising research projects at the post-doctoral (6), PhD (8), Master (14), Graduation/Erasmus+ (18), Eurodisseia (23) and Estagiar-L. (12). Coordinate(ed) and participate(ed) in regional, national and international research projects, including PO2020, Cost-Actions and Horizon 2020. Participate(ed) in commissions and representative bodies, among others, the Assembly, Pedagogic and Scientific Committees of the University and Faculty of Science and Technology. Member elected of the General Council of the University of the Azores. Research focus on the study of biology, ecology and biodiversity of arthropods, manly predator and parasitoid species used in integrated pest management viewing the optimization of the conditions for mass rearing, to find how vulnerable are the species to biotic interactions and to evaluate the impact of lethal and sub-lethal effect of biopesticides. Research includes new ideas on life-history evolution of ladybird species, correlated it to habitat/prey usage; dynamics of colonization and invasion in island’s context; plant and arthropod bio-indicator species as an ecological tool to discriminate disturbances in a gradient of anthropogenic impacted ecosystems and its implications for conservation and assessment of ecosystem services and disservices by arthropods in Azorean agro-ecosystems. I’m Red List Authority Coordinator of the IUCN SSC Ladybird Specialist Group. Since 2014, my work has been documented in 18 citations across 15 policy documents and 5 policy documents which cite my work have been cited a further 178 times in 155 other policy documents. This includes 6 citations in Canada, 1 in México, 4 in Offices of European Union, 1 in Ireland, 1 United Kingdom, 1 in Sweden, 1 in Australia, 1 in Belgium and 2 in other Intergovernmental Organizations. Issued technical advice for Regional Governments, e.g. regarding the assessment of environmental risks of the introduction of non-native natural enemies for classical biological control programs, in the in the Azores and Madeira archipelagos. Issued 10 reports following participating on scientific expedition in the Azores and Madeira archipelagos. Involved in the “Regional Water Plan – Azores”, which contributed to 4 thematical technical reports addressing topics about (i) characterization and diagnosis of the current situation”, (ii) biotic Factors, (iii) water quality and uses, (iv) nature conservation”, (v) measures and implementation strategies, (vi) physical and financial program and (vii) cartography. Authored and co-authored 19 books/book chapters. Participated in 12 lectures and conferences open to public in general. Member of evaluation Panels: (i) FCT - applications for Doctoral Scholarships | Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Panel and (ii) DRCT (Regional Executive of Science and Technology from Government of the Azores) – applications for post-Doc scholarships (president of the evaluation panel). For research projects as expert, (i) COST Action Trans Domain Proposals and (ii) BARD - The United States-Israel Binational Agriculture Research and Development Fund. Editor of 9 international peer-reviewed journals. Peer-reviewed manuscripts for 46 journals, including 41 international SCI journals.
