About

Dr. Nuno Queiroz is a leading marine ecologist whose research focuses on the movement ecology, conservation, and spatial dynamics of large pelagic species, particularly sharks and ocean sunfish. His work integrates cutting-edge satellite telemetry with behavioral analysis to understand how these animals navigate and utilize ocean habitats. A key contribution is his study on the fine-scale behavior of the ocean sunfish (*Mola mola*), where he achieved near-real-time monitoring of movements at resolutions under 10 meters—a breakthrough in tracking this elusive species. This work, published in 2016 and cited 31 times, demonstrated the potential of advanced tagging technologies to reveal previously hidden foraging and migratory patterns. Dr. Queiroz’s broader impact is evident in his highly cited research on global shark movement, which has informed international conservation policies. His achievements include leading large-scale collaborative tracking projects and publishing in top-tier journals, earning him recognition as a pioneer in marine megafauna spatial ecology. His findings are essential for designing effective marine protected areas and mitigating human-wildlife conflict.
