In our laboratory, one of our research objectives is to determine, quantify the sources and fate of anthropogenic litter in the marine environment, with particular attention to plastic debris and its ecological implications for organisms dwelling in deep-sea habitats.

Marine Animal Forests

identify ecological processes occurring in coral forests dwelling in the deep sea that drive the distribution of species;
