Activities

I am a marine ecologist with a particular research interest in the environmental drivers of species distribution. My background focus ecology of rocky shores, and ecophysiology and mariculture of foundation macroalgae (MSc & PhD). I am interested in ecophysiological and demographic responses of species at their contracting distributional edges. I have developed several correlative species distribution models (SDM) aimed at predicting distributional shifts at macroecological scales resulting from Climate Change. I am currently working on how assessing the projections of SDMs with physiological thresholds observed in stress experiments using seaweed and corals as model species. I have coordinated a team of 12 universities and research institutions in a project founded by the Ministry of Environment evaluating the conservation state of the kelp and canopy-forming macroalge to be included in the national red list of endangered species. I have also leader several articles alarming to the media and society on the catastrophic decline of foundation seaweed in southern Europe.
