TRAINING
MSc | Beatriz has been participating in the project field campaigns and laboratory work, where she is studying the vertical distribution of this invasive gastropod along the intertidal habitats of Ria, trying to understand how local niche occupancy might explain the limited spread in this system. To achieve that she is characterizing the habitat and looking at allometric relationships across the environmental gradients. She has been awarded a scholarship "Verão com Ciência 2022" da Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) and she will be developing her MSc Thesis dissertation within this project.
MSc | Teresa has recently joined the team. She has been awarded a scholarship "Verão com Ciência 2022" da Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) and she will be developing her MSc Thesis dissertation within this project.
MSc | Nuno (Applied Marine Biology Master Student) participated in the project field campaigns and laboratory work, where he received training in population dynamics and histological procedures to study the reproductive cycle of this invasive alien gastropod.
