Research interests:
biology, ecology, life history, population dynamics, reproductive behavior, growth, phylogeny, and biogeography of decapod crustaceans (swimming crabs, crabs, hermit crabs, shrimps, and prawns); the evolution of larval morphology. During her visit at SERTC, Dr. Negreiros-Fransozo will be identifying and describing larval decapod specimens collected in plankton samples from the Charleston Bump.
