Presentation
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 development, physiology, behavior, and ecology.
Our research follows 3 main axis
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 species interactions.
Ecotoxicology
We examine the inner molecular mechanisms (e.g. endocrine disruption) through which environmental stressors can affect the development, physiology and behavior of marine organisms and their ecology.
