Ecology, Evolution & Development

In the EcoEvoDevo Lab, we study the ecology, evolution, and development of marine organisms through comparative and integrative approaches. We use marine fish early-life stages as our main research models and we study how environmental signals and multiple stressors affect their behavior, development, ecology, neuro-endocrinology, and physiology.

Our Research

Ecophysiology

We investigate how marine organisms integrate environmental and endocrine signals to operate timely molecular, cellular, developmental, and physiological processes (e.g. metamorphosis) and critical life-history transitions (e.g. larval recruitment).

Integrative Ecology

We develop integrative approaches on multiple levels of biological organisation, from individual transcriptomics, endocrinology, physiology, histology, morphometrics and behavior, to population dynamics, species interactions and community resilience.

Ecotoxicology

We examine the inner molecular mechanisms (e.g. endocrine disruption) through which environmental stressors can affect the development, physiology, and ecology of marine organisms and the dynamics and resilience of marine ecosystems.
