Curriculum Vitae

Begoña Martínez Crego

I graduated in Marine Sciences (BSc plus MSc degrees) at the University of Cádiz (2001) and completed my PhD with Honors at the University of Barcelona (2008). I am an experienced marine ecologist (>15 years), currently working as Researcher at the University of Algarve, including teaching at Degree and Master levels (2018-present). My PhD and initial post-PhD was narrowly linked to managers and focused on the design and use of bioindicators for assessing the ecological status of coastal waters based mainly on seagrass (Posidonia oceanica), but also seaweeds and macroinvertebrates (2001-2010 at the CEAB-CSIC, UB and URS corp. in Spain). Since 2011 (CCMAR and UAlg), I initiated my own research line on species interactions modulating seagrass ecosystems (with particular emphasis on seagrass-herbivore interactions), which has included during the last years the biodiversity (seaweeds, marcroinvertebrates and fish) hosted by seagrass meadows. My work always combines experimentation and field data collection to address major research questions regarding current patterns and drivers, as well as main consequences of global change. My research comprises multiple countries and regions, with particular focus on the European NE Atlantic and the NW Mediterranean basis. I have participated in several national and international research projects (>35% of which as PI), and have productive collaborations with world leading researchers from Germany (AWI, GEOMAR), Italy (UNIPA, SZN), Spain (IRTA, UA, ULPGC, CEAB-CSIC, IMEDEA), Portugal (UAlg, CCMAR), USA (Oregon State University), Australia (University of Adelaide), and Brazil (UFSC). My work is compiled in > 40 publications including papers, books, and reports for governmental organizations, and has been presented in several national and international events, some of which as invited speaker. I teach at the University of Algarve within the Marine Biology Degree (UCs General Ecology or Benthic and Nektonic Processes) and the Master of Marine and Coastal Systems (UC Marine Trophic Dynamics), also tutoring lab and/or experimental methods in the International Marine Biology Master or participating as organizer of an international conference (110 participants) and a training school. I have supervised 2 PhD candidates (1 ongoing thesis and 1 stay), 17 MSc and 5 BSc students, most of them in the last 5 years. I have being Editor in 3 open-access journals (Frontiers in Marine Sciences, ARMS, IMSJ).
