Project in a nutshell:

In this project we plan to work at the interception of macrobenthic, meiobenthic and microbial taxonomy and ecology, biogeochemistry, geology and bioinformatics to constrain the diversity and distribution of chemosymbiotic metazoans along the Calabria coast, and to study the ecophysiology and ecological role of the most common species.
