Aquatic Biology and Marine Ecology
Research Context
Climate change, exploitation, and pollution are placing marine and freshwater ecosystems under pressure. This theme considers biodiversity monitoring, species interactions, habitat restoration, and nature-based conservation, including non-invasive tools such as environmental DNA.
Research Areas
