Joana Portugal, PhD Student

I´m a marine biologist by training and my master research has been focus in reproductive biology of cephalopods. In 2010, i started working at Guia Marine Laboratory, where my focus turned to physiological stressors under climate change (applied mainly to cephalopods). My present research is on the impacts of climate change on the patterns of marine biodiversity on a global scale. I'm using Ecological Niche Models to forecast shifts in patterns of distribution for different marine taxa, namely on cephalopods, lobsters and small pelagic fishes.
