About

EMPLOYMENT

Scientific Adviser (IOR)

AREA OF INTEREST

Microzooplankton, taxonomic community composition, ecology, feeding relationships within the plankton community.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Zooplankton, with emphasis on:

⦁ spatio-temporal changes in the number and structure of microzooplankton populations in coastal and open waters of the Adriatic Sea under natural and anthropogenic pressures

⦁ feeding relationships within the zooplankton community (protozoa-copepods) and the role of ciliates in the microbial food web

⦁ taxonomy.
