António Alves da Silva is a biologist and researcher at the Center for Functional Ecology at the University of Coimbra. His research activity focuses on ecology and ecosystem management through geographic information systems and geospatial modelling. Throughout his research career he has specialized in animal ecology, ecological data analysis, and geographic information systems applied to landscape ecology, ecosystem conservation and spatial modeling. His experience makes him integrate several multidisciplinary teams in national and international projects (e.g. BETTER-B, B-GOOD, ECOSTACK, OLIVESIM, TOPDEVIL, ECOASSESS, Multiforest, F4F, Biosphere Reserves, PRGPs). As a researcher in the B-Good project, he was responsible for defining and determining the typology of important habitats for honey bees, identifying the main habitats for honey bees across Europe, describing the vegetation composition present in each habitat, and calculating its bee-friendly value based on the importance of each flower resource for pollinators. Responsible for creating the “Landscape Suitability Map for Honeybees across Europe”, that stands as a powerful and versatile tool, facilitating informed decision-making and strategic planning for sustainable beekeeping across Europe. Providing valuable insights for stakeholders, including beekeepers, conservationists, land managers, policymakers, and researchers, it emerges as a dynamic and valuable resource for fostering sustainable honeybee populations and enhancing pollination services throughout Europe. Responsible for the creation of Portuguese landscapes for ALMaSS within the EcoStack and ApisRAM projects. His current research interests include quantitative ecology and ecological data analysis, population dynamics and estimation, landscape ecology (e.g. land use analysis, climate change impacts), spatial modeling and geostatistics. He has published several articles in indexed scientific journals, is (co)author of several technical reports, oral communications and posters in scientific events.
