Summary

My research combines next generation sequencing with oceanography to understand the ecology of planktonic stages of cephalopods in coastal upwellings, mainly Octopus vulgaris: their diet, intestinal flora and dispersal. My research aims to understand O. vulgaris larvae in the wild, to apply such knowledge for Octopus aquaculture. Complementary, I study molecular trophic links in copepods, cephalopod biodiversity, mesozooplankton communities and parasitic/epibiontic relationships.
