focuses on the effects of physical stress on rocky intertidal and subtidal gastropod populations, based on morphometric patterns and physiological responses. I compare populations of two gastropod species within two zones with different physical stress. I am also interested in the potential impact caused by climate warming on these populations, I experimentally manipulate environmental variables and quantify morphological and physiological changes. I have also previously worked on the fishing potential of gastropod species within Patagonian Gulfs. Research goals To describe the dynamics of the physical and chemical variables in intertidal and subtidal assemblages in Golfo Nuevo and Camarones Bay, inhabited by Trophon geversianus and Tegula patagonica . To describe and compare patterns of morphological variation of these populations. To evaluate the physiological response of both species within Golfo Nuevo. To evaluate how the changes in environmental parameters under a climate change scenario will affect the morphological and physiological responses in both species.
