Experiência
Helena Castro has a PhD in Biology, speciality Ecology, by the University of Coimbra (2008). While her current research focuses mainly on pollination of flowering plants and pollination services to crops, she maintains research in plant diversity and global change, through collaborations. In the topic of pollination, she participated in multiple projects aimed at studying crop pollination, pollinator diversity and pollination services to crops (e.g. i9Kiwi; CULTIVAR), as well as in projects aimed at studying pollination and pollinator diversity in natural and urban systems (e,g., BetterB, BeeConnected). In the topic of plant diversity and global change H. Castro was awarded a competitive grant and was involved in several projects. Under this topic she studied the response of plant and soil communities to management in agroecosystems. Associated to this topic, H. Castro got involved in 2 international networks (BIODESERT and URBANFUN). She has a strong publication record, with an h-index of 21, 34 ISI publications and over 2,300 citations. She has strong record in knowledge transfer through publications in technical journals and bulletins, as well as talks and workshops targeted at the productive sector. Currently she is invited researcher in project PRESINMED.
