AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Coral ecology and biology: demography, growth rates and population dynamics patterns in temperate and tropical corals and their relationships with environmental factors; growth and population dynamics modeling; the role of boring organisms in bioerosion of corals and coral reefs; effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on coral reef communities; modular growth and predictable patterns of colony and population growth; sexual and asexual reproduction; population genetic structure and connectivity; planula larval behaviour and metamorphosis; morphology of 2 Stefano Goffredo CV gametogenesis; reef community structure; life history strategies; conservation ecology and management of coral reef; global climate change and its effect on temperate and tropical coral-reef communities; the use of contemporary corals in predictive models concerning with global climate change. Citizen Science: university research, industry, and policy interdisciplinary interactions; international cooperation; volunteers in research; marine conservation monitoring; sustainable tourism; biodiversity monitoring, recreational activities, education, scientific literacy and naturalistic awareness. Microgravity biomineralization: biomaterials for biomimetic scaffolds; biomineralized tissues; biomineralizing organisms; biominerals; calcification; corals; genetic and environmental control on biomineralization; marine mineralization; material research; mechanical and biogenic properties of biomaterials; porosity; space bioreactor. 3.
