Biography

My major interests are shelf and bathyal benthos. Ecology of benthic invertebrates with emphasis on mollusks, crustaceans, and polychaetes. Ecology and biogeographic patterns of benthic fauna associated to seamounts and oceanic islands. Energy flow through the benthos. Methane seep chemosynthetic communities. Animal-sediment relationships. Trophic relationships through stable isotope analysis. Taxonomy of molluscs. Sediment biogeochemistry. Biochemical composition of sedimentary organic matter. Carbon cycle in marine sediments.
