Eva Monteiro

I am a biologist since 2003 and I have received my Ph.D. degree in Logic and Philosophy of Science from the University of Salamanca in 2022, where I evaluated the importance of learning the organism identification process for the comprehension, appreciation and conservation of biodiversity.
Presently I am a researcher at Tagis – Portuguese Butterfly Conservation Center, the national coordinator of the Portuguese Butterfly Monitoring Scheme and team member of the Red List of Terrestrial and Freshwater Invertebrates of Portugal and several other local and municipal insect conservation projects. I am also author and co-author of science communication materials and activities based on insects and their identification (e.g. Grasshoppers and Crickets interactive identification key Orthopter-on, Vlog Insetos em Rede, exhibition Insects in Order), school and general public activities, nature pathways Biodiversity Station Network.
My main reshearch interests are biodiversity monitoring, biodiversity indicators, citizen science, entomology, socio-ecology.
