domain of specialization
I have broad interests in Marine Benthic Ecology and Ecotoxicology. Particularly, in the last years I have developed several works regarding long-term studies in estuarine ecosystems, assessing the effects of multiple stressors (natural and anthropogenic) on the macrobenthic communities’ dynamics (structure, reproduction, production). This work relies on the evaluation of eutrophication effects and consecutive restoration on the ecosystem functioning. Also, a great interest has been addressed to the climate change and the impact of stochastic weather events (e.g. floods, draughts and heat waves) on the structure and functioning of those communities. More recently, my work has focused mainly on the assessment of mercury contamination at different trophic levels, both through field and laboratory studies. Regarding the field work, an evaluation of the impact of mercury contamination on the bioaccumulation and population dynamics of macrobenthic, suprabenthic and planktonic communities has been made. Moreover, these studies have been completed with mesocosms experiments whose goal is to evaluate the kinetics of mercury accumulation and decontamination in commercially and ecologically important macrobenthic species. As such, I am actively involved with ecologists, chemists and statisticians in order to get a more holistic view of the ecosystem functioning.
 
present investigation interests
Communities characterization and functioning in coastal systems. Long-term dynamics of macrobenthic communities in response to multiple stressors (natural and anthropogenic). Assessment of contaminant effects (ex. Mercury and nutrients excess) in coastal systems, namely, at the macrobenthic, suprabenthic and planktonic communities.

MERCOAST - Impact of mercury on the dynamics of estuarine communities in a coastal lagoon (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal). Their socio-economics implications (PTDC/MAR/101906/2008).
Funding: FCT
Coordinator: Patricia Teixeira (IMAR-CMA, Coimbra)
Nature of investigation: Considering that estuaries, especially salt marshes and seagrass beds, are very productive ecosystems and recognized as nursery areas for several estuarine/marine species, most of them with high economic interest (e.g clams – Scrobicularia plana, cockles – Cerastoderma edule, crustaceans, fishes), it would be crucial to assess the impact of mercury loading on the population dynamics (i.e. community structure, life span, growth rates, breeding periods) of such species. Also will be addressed other relevant points such as: 1) to determine the kinetics of mercury bioaccumulation in two distinct macrobenthic species; 2) to characterize the plankton community along the mercury gradient, in terms of abundance, community structure and biodiversity and evaluate until which point the zooplankton community is affected by the mercury pollution and what are the possible consequences for the upper trophic levels; 3) to evaluate the impact of mercury contamination on the growth, reproduction and survival of an important mysid species, Mesopodopsis slabberi; 4) to evaluate the impact of mercury on the growth of salt marsh plants.
