Research Interest

I am interested in different animal groups. Currently, I study the shipworm (Teredinidae) community in the Northern Adriatic Sea. In my thesis, I collect shipworms at the Slovenian coast from deployed wooden cubes. The shipworms are identified based on molecular and morphological features. I use different physical measurements of the collected cubes, to better understand their distribution.
