Fonseca
Personal Profile
I have a Ph.D. in Morphology and Animal Physiology by the University of Lisbon since 1994 and I am currently leading the team ‘Communication and evolution in insects and fish’ within the Conservation in Socio-Ecological Ecosystems research group of cE3c. I am an associate professor at the Department of Animal Biology of the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, where I currently teach Animal physiology, Marine Biology and Animal Behaviour.
