Fernando Sequeira is Auxiliary Researcher at CIBO-InBIO, University of Porto. He has extensive experience in the field of ecology, population genetics, phylogeography, and evolution. He graduated in Biology, University of Porto, in 1996, having completed his MSc and PhD in July 2000 and December 2006, respectively, both at the University of Porto. He has authored 50 articles published in journals of recognized scientific merit, possessing > 1 800 citations (Google Scholar) and h-index of 18. These articles were published in relevant scientific journals, including PNAS, Science Advances and Molecular Ecology. He also published a book and three book chapters. He supervise(d) 11 PhD theses and 6 MSc theses. He was the Principal Investigator (PI) in 4 research projects, three FCT R&D projects, and one Transnational Cooperation Project FCT/CAPES. He has participated as research team member in more than 10 projects, 7 of which financed by international institutions. He is currently the group leader of the Tropical Biology research group (TROPBIO) and member of the Direction Board of CIBIO. Using mainly amphibians as model organisms, he is interested in understand the routes of gene flow and dispersal dynamics within and between diverged evolutionary units as a function of habitat and environmental variables, using genomic data in conjunction with fine-scaled ecological modelling. He is also interested in using high-throughput sequencing-based approaches to investigate mechanisms of genotype-phenotype associations and patterns of evolutionary change. Finally, he is currently involved in several research projects involving African wildlife conservation and also capacity building within the framework of the UNESCO Chair "Life on Land".
