I graduated in Marine Biology in 2004 and completed a PhD degree in Marine Ecology in 2010, both by the University of Algarve. Since February 2011 I am conducting my research at MARE-ISPA. I have specialized in behaviour, ecology and development of fish larvae. I’ve also become interested in studying the impacts of global changes, particularly ocean acidification and temperature, on larval behaviour, developmental ecology and sensorial ecology of temperate reef fish larvae, and how these impacts might affect survival during this critical life stage, and ultimately recruitment and dynamics of marine populations. Addressing the potential for acclimation to these global changes through phenotypic plasticity is a research topic I am particularly interested in.
