I am a biologist currently working at the Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation IP-RAM (Madeira Government, Portugal). Recent research and published work include new land snails species descriptions from Desertas islands (Madeira archipelago, Portugal), faunistic studies in the Madeira archipelago and species conservation assessments of the emblematic endemic landsnails species from Madeira archipelago. As a PhD student at the University of Madeira (Portugal), I am conducting an integrative study on spatial and temporal dynamics of the Madeiran land snails, with the purpose of evaluating the species response to climate and habitat shifting and its implications on their conservation.
