I finished my Master’s degree in Ecology and Environment in University of Porto, and was at LIBRe and the Finnish Museum of Natural History under the Erasmus+ internship program. The main objective of my work was to compare the community assembly of forest spiders on islands and continents. For that, I took some morphometrics measures on spiders to make a comparative functional diversity analysis across different settings (islands vs. continents) and trying to disentangle environmental filtering versus competitive exclusion as two opposing forces driving community structure, using null models.
