I am studying the response of the coralligenous assemblages to climate change at the community level through different approaches; 1) Conducting thermotolerance experiments on representative species of the coralligenous, 2) Studying its capability to recover against different impacts, and 3) Analysing the linkages between functional and demographic traits of these species, and their vulnerability to different perturbations. Taken together, this information will help to improve the management and conservation strategies for the coralligenous.
