Fernando Ascensão
ResearcherI received a Ph.D. in Conservation Biology from the University of Lisbon in 2013 and I am currently working in the Urban Ecology of CE3C. I am an Assistan Researcher at Faculty of Sciences (Universidade de Lisboa), within the group Urban Ecology of research center CE3C. My research is on landscape ecology, particularly in the field of Road Ecology. The impact of transport and energy infrastructure on biodiversity is an emerging and one of the most challenging research fields in ecology, given the urgency of finding solutions that enable a sustainable coexistence between human development and biodiversity.
I am interested in understanding how road encroachment (and other infrastructure) relate with changes in species composition and their interactions. I am also interested in mapping infrastructure and predicting their impacts, from local to global scales.
