Activity summary

Has developed her scientific activity, as a Scholarship Research and Researcher, since 1997 in estuarine ecology and environmental monitoring studies, mainly using the benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Has participated in different scientific and applied projects, at several Portuguese estuarine systems. Has interest in the taxonomy and ecological dynamics of invertebrates, particularly polychaetes. Recently has taken on interest in studies involving non-indigenous species.

Highlights

Structure and dynamics of a benthic invertebrate community in an intertidal area of the Tagus estuary, Western Portugal: a six year data series Heavy metal distribution and partitioning in the vicinity of the discharge areas of Lisbon drainage basins (Tagus Estuary, Portugal) Long-term trends in intertidal and subtidal benthic communities in response to water quality improvement measures Short-term versus long-term changes in the benthic communities of a small coastal lagoon: implications for ecological status assessment
