Marine ecology and ocean science
André Ricardo Araújo Lima
Science for understanding a changing ocean.
Biologist and PhD holder in Oceanography, PhD Researcher at the University of Évora and MARE. His work investigates the effects of pollution and climate change on coastal and ocean ecosystems.
Research areas
Five areas articulate research aimed at understanding environmental pressures, ecological responses and decisions about marine space.
Marine Ecology and Biology
Study of coastal and ocean ecosystems and the ecology of fish species along environmental gradients.
Scientific impact
The most recurring and most-cited theme across the full body of work concerns marine pollution and microplastics in estuarine and coastal ecosystems.
Documented approaches
- Spatial distribution analysis of microplastics in the water column and plankton
- Field studies in tropical estuarine ecosystems
- Behavioural and physiological trials in fish larvae under environmental stress

Climate Change
Assessment of the effects of climate variability and change on the physiology, distribution and ecology of marine organisms.
Scientific impact
A central theme concerns the impact of climate change on pelagic and estuarine fish populations.
Documented approaches
- Behavioural and physiological trials in fish larvae under thermal stress and hypoxia

Ecological Niche Modelling
Analysis of the potential distribution of species under different environmental conditions and scenarios.
Scientific impact
Includes predictive species distribution modelling under future environmental scenarios.

Marine Spatial Planning
Ecological knowledge applied to understanding and planning the uses of the marine environment.
Marine Protected Areas
Research focused on the conservation and spatial management challenges of marine ecosystems.
Research network
How the five research areas connect, based on documented overlaps in topics and methods.
A path across ecology, oceanography and marine research
From training in Brazil to research in Portugal, this scientific path develops around marine ecosystems and the pressures that transform them.
