Jellyfish Ecology and Marine Food Webs

Jellyfish play a key role in marine ecosystems and can serve as indicators of environmental change. Our research explores the drivers of jellyfish blooms, their ecological interactions, and their consequences for biodiversity, fisheries, aquaculture, and ecosystem functioning. We combine field observations, experiments, and modelling to understand the role of gelatinous organisms in changing oceans.

Biodiversity Monitoring and Emerging Species

Biodiversity Monitoring and Emerging Species. The laboratory studies the distribution, dynamics, and impacts of native, invasive, and emerging species in marine and freshwater ecosystems. We develop innovative monitoring approaches that integrate ecological observations, citizen science, and environmental data to provide early warning of ecosystem change.
