Activity summary

My research primarily addresses several questions relating to biodiversity and resilience of marine and estuarine ecosystems in order to improve the understanding about their functioning (patterns, processes and threats). Actually, I am studying the resilience of rocky reefs to anthropogenic pressures by assessing their ecological networks (considering the different biological groups´ relationships). This research represents an important step in order to improve marine conservation.
