Resumo da atividade

I am an assistant researcher at IPMA (Instituto Português do Mar e Atmosfera). I am involved in assessing the state of marine fisheries resources and ecosystems. I am especially interested in (1) assessing and modelling drivers of biodiversity, (2) exploring links between biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services, (3) determining effects of human activities on aquatic ecosystems, (4) estimating the value of coastal habitats for exploited species and measuring population connectivity.
