João Nunes de Matos Farminhão is a naturalist. He is currently Researcher at the Botanic Garden of the University of Coimbra and at the Centre of Functional Ecology of the same university. He completed his Degree in Biology in 2013 at the University of Lisbon and the Erasmus Mundus MSc in Tropical Biodiversity and Ecosystems at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Université Pierre et Marie Curie (now Sorbonne Université), ULB and Vrije Universiteit Brussel in 2016. João is a Docteur en Sciences by ULB, where he defended his thesis on the evolutionary history of Afromalagasy angrecoid orchids in 2021. He completed a 1-year-postdoc at ULB and was a lecturer in Botany at the same university from 2021-2022. He has published 17 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 3 book chapters. João is an associate editor of 3 botanical journals and was the editorial coordinator of the second volume of a book about the areas of botanical interest in mainland Portugal. He participates and/or has participated as a Master/Doctoral/Post-Doctoral researcher in 4 projects on the biology of angrecoid orchids. He took part in scientific expeditions in Gabon, São Tomé & Príncipe and Rwanda. He has co-authored 30 plant names, having described 7 new species to science. João conducts research in integrative taxonomy, biogeography and pollination biology in Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. He is the President of the Botanical Society of Portugal (SPBotânica).
