Luís Reino

I am since 2010 a Post-doctoral researcher at the Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO-InBIO), of the University of Porto (Portugal), where I currently hold a FCT Post-doc grant. After completing my graduation ("Licenciatura") at the Instituto Superior de Agronomia (Technical University of Lisbon) (1994-2000), I worked as a researcher and environmental consultant at the private company ERENA, SA (1999-2004). Thereafter, I got a FCT grant to complete my PhD in Forestry Sciences (2004-2010) at the Instituto Superior de Agronomia. After completing my FCT grant I returned to ERENA (2008-2010) before I started my current position in CIBIO-InBIO.

My main research interests are in the area of biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes, particularly in agricultural and forest systems, with a special focus in farmland ecology, habitat fragmentation of farmland habitats and invasion ecology. I have authored 22 publications in international scientific journals (listed by ISI and Scopus) and my work has been cited over 230 times (h factor = 9).
