Manos L. Moraitis

I am biologist with broad interests in marine benthic ecology, community ecology and species distributions. My research includes diverse themes such as modelling the potential impacts of climate change scenarios on the distributions of marine benthic species, assessing the effects of anthropogenic activities on the benthic communities and evaluating biotic interactions, and spatial patterns of indicator species. For my work, I also employ biodiversity and ecological indicators for the evaluation of the ecological status of coastal areas. Currently, I am working on incorporating benthic indicator species in relevant modelling methods in order to assess their essential habitat.
