I study the effects of environmental change on marine organisms, populations and food webs, from the sub-cellular to the whole-animal level, and complex trophic networks.

 

My recent investigation has focused mostly on the effects of warming on coastal organisms and their vulnerability status.

 

Target species are varied, including corals, gastropods, crustaceans and fish.
