Benthic Ecology Group

We are a research group at the Federal University of Espirito Santo (in Vitória-ES, Brazil) interested in the ecology of marine benthic ecosystems. We are currently involved in a number of projects to evaluate ecology, human impacts and ecosystem function of benthic assemblages in estuaries, on continental margins and those associated with organic falls such as whale bones and wood-falls. We have two research laboratories, one in Vitória and the other at UFES Oceanographic Marine station. Our labs have most equipment for sampling, preserving and analyzing benthic samples.
