Manuela Gonzalez-Suarez

Dr. Manuela Gonzalez-Suarez is an Associate Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Reading's School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on understanding biodiversity change, identifying drivers of species loss, and developing predictive models for conservation. She leads the EcCo lab, which explores ecological dynamics through data modeling and fieldwork. Dr. Gonzalez-Suarez's work spans diverse organisms and ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on roadkill ecology, functional diversity, and conservation prioritization.

Her expertise includes integrating ecological data to inform policy and management strategies. Recent research highlights include global bird conservation strategies, Amazonian road ecology studies, and innovative tools for IUCN Red List assessments. Collaborations emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to address anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity.

Publications span topics from species distribution modeling to functional trait analysis, reflecting her commitment to bridging ecological theory with applied conservation. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, but her work demonstrates significant contributions to biodiversity science.
