Summary

Paulo A. V. Borges has a Ph.D. diploma in Ecology from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine – University of London (1997). Since 1988, he has been involved in biodiversity research, using as model organisms and the Macaronesian islands, particularly the Azores, as model systems. His current research is driven by three overarching objectives: i) collect long-term ecological data to investigate the processes affecting patterns of species diversity, abundance and distribution at different spatial scales; ii) use Macaronesia as a model system to investigate ecological and evolutionary mechanisms responsible for shaping island biotas; iii) identify pathways that impact oceanic indigenous assemblages under global change for conservation purposes.

Main domain of research: Macroecology; Community Ecology; Conservation; Bioespeleology, Termite Control.

Leadership: He is currently leading the Azorean Biodiversity Group (cE3c) within the University of the Azores (http://gba.uac.pt/).

Publications: Paulo A.V. Borges has published extensively using Azorean Islands as a model for understanding community structure in island ecosystems, with 145 published or accepted papers in ISI recognized journals. From those, 50% are from the First Quartile in the areas of Ecology, Entomology and Multidisciplinary Sciences. He has also published 11 books as author or editor (including the complete lists of the terrestrial biodiversity of Azores and Madeira archipelagos), 58 Book Chapters and about 50 published or accepted papers in Refereed Journals without Impact Factor. From my 130 ISI papers 70 are responding to the Wallacean shortfall, 28 to the Prestonian shortfall, 23 to the Linnean shortfall and 14 to the Raunkiæran shortfall.

Scientific projects: Over the last eight years he coordinated/participated in 40 projects, funded by different agencies (12 international; 12 national (FCT) and 16 regional). For example, in the last years he coordinated four FCT projects obtaining about 700 000 Euros in funding and from 2012 to 2015, he was the Azorean coordinator of the EUROPE NETBIOME – ISLANDBIODIV Project (Understanding biodiversity dynamics in tropical and subtropical islands as an aid to science based conservation action (Azores, Canary Islands, Reunion). In Azores he led 12 out of the 16 projects many of them related with termite ecology, monitoring and eradication.

Outreach projects: He is the leader of the Azorean Biodiversity Portal (http://azoresbioportal.uac.pt/pt/) a key E-Infraestructure for promoting Azores Biodiversity to scientists, students, teachers, general public and also tourists. Over the years, many outreach activities and projects have been promoted by Paulo A. V. Borges, including three urban interventions such as “Azoreans for millions of years”, three RAVE – Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition (e.g. http://raveterceira.wixsite.com/rave2014), one Facebook contest (Pick a name!; https://pt-pt.facebook.com/Chama.lhe.Nomes)
