Activities
Our interests are centered in the interaction between ecology and evolution, particularly of coral reef invertebrates such as octocorals, black corals, corals and sponges (and their symbionts). We are focusing on bridging phenotypic plasticity and ecological speciation as well as finding underlying adaptations to environmental conditions (including rising seawater temperature) and/or specialist symbionts in populations of coral reef organisms. However, we are doing a great effort to transfer our knowledge and research to the regions and local communities from the areas we have been working in the last few years. In addition, we have a number of synergies and funded projects on marine conservation biology, socioecological systems, octocoral systematics and community ecology. We follow an integrative biology approach including strong field, lab and computational components in our research.
