Raul Valente is a PosDoc researcher at the Coastal Biodiversity Lab in CIIMAR. His research focuses on cetacean ecology and evolution. Within these two topics, he holds a strong interest in using monitoring tools to enhance cetacean conservation and investigating how molecular and environmental factors influenced cetacean unique phenotypes.
In collaboration with the AGE laboratory, his ongoing research focuses on comprehending cetacean population dynamics through genomic approaches and exploring the impact of gene loss in shaping the distinctive traits observed in cetaceans.
