Curriculum Vitae

Sofia Lino

I hold a PhD in Biology and Ecology of Global Changes from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, in collaboration with the University of Aveiro, which I completed in 2024. My doctoral research focused investigating the socio-ecological and geographical barriers to wolf connectivity south of the Douro river (Portugal) as part of the LIFE WolFlux project. I also completed a master's in Ecology, Environment, and Territory at the University of Porto in 2015, where I studied the impact of fires on Iberian wolf populations. Additionally, I have worked in science and environmental education for children (2016-2019). My main research interests are wildlife ecology, management, and conservation, particularly in socio-ecological systems.
