Imanol Miqueleiz

I was born in Spain, where I obtained my degree in Biology at the University of Navarra. Then I moved to the UK to study an MSc at the University of Leeds, and returned to Spain to develop my PhD project at the University of Navarra.

My main research interest is freshwater fish conservation, mostly focused in examining the degree of knowledge that we have on global freshwater fish conservation patterns, and which are the gaps that need to be filled out most urgently. In my work as a postdoc, I use big dataset analysis to obtain geospatial patterns of freshwater fish diversity and threat, aiming to obtain results that may help to guide conservation efforts in the upcoming years.
