Curriculum Vitae

Gonçalo Curveira-Santos

Gonçalo Curveira-Santos completed a Ph.D. in Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution in 2021 by the University of Lisbon and University of Porto, Portugal, a M.Sc. in Ecology and Conservation in 2014 by Uppsala University, Sweden, and a B.Sc. in Environmental Biology in 2011 by the University of Lisbon, Portugal. Gonçalo then completed a 1-year postdoc at the Wildlife Coexistence Lab, University of British Columbia, Canada. Since April 2023, Gonçalo is a Junior Researcher in BIOPOLIS-InBIO - Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology. Gonçalo Curveira-Santos develops research on Wildlife Conservation Ecology, with broad research interests in the interface between ecological theory and the development and application of wildlife management and conservation strategies. His research focuses on terrestrial mammal species and community-level wildlife responses to environmental change and conservation options, particularly within the context of predator-predator and predator-prey ecological networks. Gonçalo's Ph.D. research on carnivore assemblage's responses to conservation and management models in South Africa was distinguished by the Amadeu Dias Foundation among the best PhD in Ecology in Portugal (awarded by SPECO, the Portuguese Ecological Society) in 2022. For his first postdoc, Gonçalo investigated disturbance-mediated changes to boreal mammal spatial networks. Currently, Gonçalo's research focuses on the Conservation Ecology of southern African mammals, under the frame of the TROPIBIO Project «Expanding potential in tropical biodiversity and ecosystem research towards sustainable life on land».
