Estuarine Ecology

1. River flow is one of the most important factors structuring the dynamics of estuarine ecosystems. The interannual variability of river flow has a marked effect on communities' dynamics, and also on ecosystem connectivity and functioning. Thus, we aim to identify how river flow shifts ecosystem functioning and connectivity.

2. Continue developing basic and applied ecological studies in the Guadiana basin- estuary, river and  streams.

Fish Migration

1. Identify and reevaluate the life history patterns of ecological/economic relevant fish species through the analysis of otolith microchemistry.

2. Investigate the mechanisms that allow a given fish species to chose different life history tactics.

3. Develop laboratory experiments to test hypothesis based on the interpretation of otolith microchemistry data.

Biological Invasions

1. Quantify the impact of non-indigenous species (NIS) on the functioning of estuarine ecosystems, by developing a multidisciplinary and holistic research.

2. Investigate why some NIS are so successful in invading estuarine ecosystems.
