Dr. Lucas Nunes Teixeira
Marine and Freshwater Ecology |
BackgroundI am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Universidade Federal Fluminense under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Carlos Ferreira. As an undergraduate and master student, I studied the trophic ecology of freshwater and reef fishes; conducted ichthyofaunal assessments of freshwater fishes; assisted in restoring and organizing the ichthyology collection of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina; and worked on projects involving the marine benthic community. As a Ph.D. student, I focused on the trophic ecology of reef fishes in different ecological scales (from individual to ecosystems). I am currently working on the ecology and energy flow of trophic chains in oceanic islands with a focus on planktivores fishes. Besides the trophic ecology of organisms, I have an interest in different ecological and zoological topics, such as macroecology, biogeography, species checklist and distribution, phylogeography, behaviour, and interactions.
