Short presentation
My research focus on ecology of reef fishes. I am interested in the functional roles of reef fishes on reef ecosystems and links between ecosystems in the coastal seascape. Specifically, I have been studying how nursery habitats such as mangroves and seagrass have effects on the fish community structure on reefs through ontogenetic migrations. Seagrass ecosystems and management of the coastal zone also interests me.
