Our lab is oriented towards developing scientific advances for the understanding of the structure, functioning and dynamics of ecological systems, with emphasis on freshwater communities.

Presently, our group performs theoretical as well as experimental research on:

• Ecology of populations and communities of freshwater zooplankton
• Impact of stressors on the individuals, populations and communities
• Phenotypic plasticity and life-history strategies of planktonic organisms
• Inducible defenses in predator-prey and food web systems
• Structure and dynamics of ecological interaction neworks
