Activities
My research is focused on the integrative taxonomy of cnidarians (zoantharians and octocorals) and some ecological interactions observed of these groups from the Eastern Tropical Pacific ecoregion. I use the metabolomic information as an alternative tool to help in the identification of these groups and also in the marine field to answer questions about the ecological interactions and the invasiveness behaviour of these species in the reef ecosystems of the TEP ecoregion, for further conservation strategies and sustainable use of these marine resources.
