Life in the ocean ...

Research in my laboratory is directed towards understand-ing biological interactions and physical processes which determine the structure and dynamics of populations and communities in temperate and tropical marine habitats. The work addresses fundamental issues in theoretical ecology as well as applied aspects of invertebrate fisheries and aquaculture.
