Ricardo Rocha is an Associate Professor of Conservation Science and Tutorial Fellow at Jesus College, University of Oxford. His research focuses on providing evidence-based knowledge to support conservation decision-making in the context of contemporary global change, with a special emphasis on restoring biodiversity following habitat loss and fragmentation. He investigates taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic responses to habitat loss, the regeneration of secondary forests, and spatial and temporal perspectives. His work includes identifying management options that enhance the permeability of agricultural lands for disturbance-sensitive species and assessing the efficiency of conservation interventions. Rocha employs ecological theory and conducts biodiversity surveys as well as large-scale manipulative experiments within 'real-world' working landscapes, particularly in island ecosystems.
