✓ Survey and monitoring of Biodiversity at

different trophic levels. From plankton, algae,

up to fish. Study the interaction between the

biotic and abiotic factors

✓ Environmental education to protect those

ecosystems

Coral population genetics and molecular

taxonomy of its dinoflagellate symbionts

Profa. Carla Zilberberg

1. Monitoring of shallow and cold water coral communities

- Genetic diversity and connectivity

- Endemic, highly distributed and alien species

2. Monitoring of the photosynthetically endosymbiont community associated with shallow water corals

- Genetic diversity

- Coral’s health related to the photosynthetically endosymbiont community

- Effect of climate changes on the coral/algae symbiosis
