Research interests

I am interested in understanding how marine invertebrates respond to environmental changes. My PhD project aims to:

1)   Assess the acclimation capacity of physiological and life history traits to a range of environmental conditions on commercially important molluscs.

2)   Characterize the importance of developmental and/or transgenerational plasticity for performance and stress tolerance.

3)   Evaluate the role of within- and across- generation acclimation in stock enhancement within an aquaculture context.

Supervisors: Dr Manuela Turebano, Professor John Spicer, and Dr Robert Ellis (University of Exeter).
