Pedro Tarroso

I am a biodiversity researcher with a background spanning spatial ecology, evolutionary genetics, and climate science. I hold a PhD in Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution from the University of Porto, co-hosted by the University of Montpellier, where I developed expertise in paleoclimate reconstruction and climate/biodiversity interactions using palynological data. My research bridges spatial ecology, climate change, and multi-level biodiversity (genetic, species, and ecosystem) to uncover the drivers of current biodiversity patterns, with a strong emphasis on conservation. Through international collaborations, including ongoing work on Arabian biodiversity, I combine big-data analytics, genomics, and Earth observation to study biodiversity from local connectivity to global patterns. I am an active developer of open-source scientific software and have authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications, contributing to research, training, and supervision across multiple scales of biodiversity science.
