João Luís Teixeira Pestana graduated in Biology from University of Aveiro, Portugal) in 2000 and completed a PhD in Biology (University of Aveiro and University of New Brunswick, Canada) in 2008. His PhD focused on the interactive effects of nenicotinoid insecticides and natural stressors (predation risk) to aquatic invertebrate communities. After two FCT-funded post-doc fellowships and since January 2017 he is an assistant researcher at CESAM-Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies and at the Biology department, University of Aveiro (UA, Portugal). His main topics of research are related to aquatic ecology and ecotoxicology and invertebrate physiology with a strong focus on the direct and indirect effects of pollutants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals and personal care products and microplastics, light pollution) and of natural stressors (warming, exotic species, predation risk, salinization, etc.) on individual species responses , natural communities and ecosystem functioning. He has been considering ecologically relevant scenarios of exposure (in situ and mesocosm studies, concomitant exposures of contaminants and natural stressors, effects of stress along food webs an on species interactions) and also long-term effects of contamination (multigenerational assays, altered sensitivity or fitness costs arising from adaptation to pollution). João Pestana has/is coordinating 7 FCT projects (total funding of more than 1 Million euros; 4 as PI and two as co-PI and 1 as PI at UA) and participated as team member in several national and international research projects, also secured funding through the EU project AQUAECEL for a 3-month visit to University of Ghent in 2014 . Within these projects and related research activities, he has published 82 papers (h index=29) and supervised 3 post-doctoral researchers , 7 PhD students and 13 MSc students (+3 ongoing). and presented numerous poster and oral presentations in international scientific meetings. His team is currently composed of 4 young researchers, 2 PhD student and several MSc and degree students. João Pestana is a regular reviewer for several journals within the environmental sciences, being a review editor for Frontiers in Physiology and he has been invited as a reviewer of projects/grants for different international institutions like FNRS (Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique - France), FWO (Research Foundation - Flanders) or CONICYT (Chile National foundation for science and technology ) He is a member of AIL ( Iberian association of limnology ) and SETAC ( Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry ) where he has as co-chaired different SETAC Europe meeting sessions on Evolutionary, multigenerational and epigenetic effects of pollutants and on The added value of using invertebrates in toxicity testing.
