Ronaldo Sousa has broad interests in aquatic ecology and conservation combining empirical and theoretical approaches. R Sousa received a PhD from the University of Porto (Portugal) in 2008 and was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge (UK) and Ciimar (Portugal) between 2008 and 2009. Since September 2009, he is a Professor at the University of Minho (Portugal) with the exception of September 2013 to September 2014 when he was a FCT Investigator at Ciimar (Portugal). R Sousa is on the list of the World’s Top 2% Scientists since 2021 and published more than 150 scientific papers (36 as first author) in international peer review journals (including Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Global Change Biology and Biological Reviews). R Sousa gave more than 190 oral presentations in national and international congresses (more than 30 as an invited speaker). R Sousa completed the supervision of 4 post-doctoral, 5 PhD and 22 MSc students. R Sousa is currently supervising 3 PhD and 8 MSc students. In the last years R Sousa made part of more than 15 national and international projects as PI, co-PI or member with a total budget of almost 3 000 000 euros. He is Associate Editor for Biological Invasions (since 2016) and Scientific Reports (since 2022). He is a member of the IUCN SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group (since 2013), IUCN SSC Mollusc Species Specialist Group (since 2020) and a Council Member of Neobiota - The European Group on Biological Invasions (since 2008). R Sousa is also an independent expert for the evaluation of international projectsand he is/was a referee for more than 50 international scientific journals. Some of the most important scientific outputs have been covered by media (radio, journals and television).
