Study of:

  • Life history traits

  • Reproductive and larval biology

  • Ecophysiology of feeding and osmoregulation

  • Mating systems

  • Behavior in marine and freshwater crustaceans, native and invasive, with emphasis on temporal and latitudinal variability related to ontogeny and biotic and abiotic environmental factors.

Current projects:
