RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of South Carolina,
USA, working on ecological forecasting with Drs David Wethey, Jerry
Hilbish and Brian Helmuth. During my PhD at the University of Porto
(Portugal) and Marine Biological Association of the UK, I had the
opportunity to study the relation between intertidal biogeography and the
climatic and oceanographic patterns in NE Atlantic, focusing on the
effects of climate warming.
My main research interest is the study
of invertebrate marine biodiversity and biogeography, with particular
emphasis on the processes governing species distributions. Most of my
recent work is linked with alterations in species distributions and their
relation with climate change. Other professional activities include
experimental ecology, coastal environmental impact assessment and the
study of the biology of elasmobranchs.
