Research interests: Biodiversity, ecology, life history, population dynamics, reproductive behavior, growth, phylogeny, and biogeography of decapod crustaceans (swimming crabs, crabs, hermit crabs, shrimps, and prawns); juvenile development of decapods. During his visit at SERTC, Dr. Fransozo will be working with Dr. Lucia Negreiros Fransozo to identify and describe larval decapod specimens collected in plankton samples from the Charleston Bump.
