Felipe Siqueira Campos

I got a PhD in Biodiversity at the University of Barcelona, awarded with International Mention, Cum Laude and the UB Extraordinary Doctoral Prize 2017/2018. In 2017, I was also awarded the Spanish Association of Terrestrial Ecology (AEET) National Prize for ecology research projects led by young researchers. A key contribution I made to the field was validating the usefulness of an ecological and evolutionary approach for improved cost-effective outcomes in threatened hotspots. From 2018 to 2022, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the NOVA University of Lisbon, under an R&D project on the assessment of Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity in Portugal, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).

My primary goal as a researcher is to design a multidisciplinary framework for conservation plans that integrate economic benefits, ecosystem services and biodiversity components at a macroecological scales.
