Raul Valente is a PosDoc researcher at Interdisciplinary Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research of the University of Porto, Portugal (CIIMAR.UP). Raul has BSc degree in Biology, followed by a MSc in Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution, and a PhD in Biology, completed in Jan 2024. He was awarded a PhD Studentship in an international competitive FCT Call (SFRH/BD/144786/2019). He benefitted from several international experiences by doing an internship at Aquatic Mammal and Bioindicator Laboratory (MAQUA), Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ) and at CIMA Research Foundation (Italy). He has conducted research in the field of marine ecology since 2016, focusing on cetacean ecology and evolution. Raul has supervised graduation and now MSc students. He has a strong experience in fieldwork activities, organising, coordinating, tutoring interns, and participating in several at-sea campaigns to conduct activities of cetacean monitoring and sampling, applying several techniques. He is licensed by the Portuguese Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) to sample cetaceans. His scientific activities have been dedicated to the use of monitoring tools to improve cetacean conservation and investigate how molecular and environmental factors influence the unique phenotypes found in cetaceans, with a strong publication record on the topics (including numerous scientific publications in Q1 peer-reviewed journals). Therefore, he has developed relevant skills in population and comparative genomics and ecological modeling. He is also involved in studies of photo-ID, ecotoxicology, bioacoustics, and eDNA techniques.
