Welcome to the Functional Ecology group at the Gulbenkian Institute in Lisbon.
We study how species interactions and environmental change shape metabolism at different biological scales. Our goal is to identify the mechanisms that regulate organismal metabolism and understand how changes in metabolism affect the functioning of communities. Our lab combines approaches from ecology, physiology and experimental evolution using marine phytoplankton as a model system.
