Rubens Lopes has a degree in Biological Sciences from the University of São Paulo (1985), a master's degree in Ecology from the University of São Paulo (1989) and a doctorate in Zoology from the Federal University of Paraná (1997). He works as an associate professor at the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo (since 2002), where he is accredited as a master's and doctoral advisor. Conducts research in Biological Oceanography, with an emphasis on Ecology of Marine Plankton, developing studies on the following themes: spatial and temporal variability of plankton; trophic interactions in the pelagic system; plankton behavior. Participates in environmental monitoring, evaluation and management programs, particularly in the energy and waterway sectors. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The "offshore of tomorrow" is being defined in our generation. Awaken by climate change, we were made aware that the exploration of fossil fuels for the sole use of thermal energy cannot be sustainable in the distant future. The effect humanity has played in changing the climate of the planet by the emission of greenhouse gases is a pressing agenda for many, if not all, countries committe…
Marine plankton communities play a pivotal role in various ecosystem services, including global climate regulation. We propose to study plankton distribution and biodiversity in the surface layer of the ocean by means of an innovative sampling approach based on high spatial resolution and broad geographic coverage. Different biogeographic domains of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans…
We propose to develop novel experimental and observational methods at the University of São Paulo dedicated to the study of marine plankton behavior. We will give emphasis on the feeding behavior of copepods, a dominant zooplankton taxon, as well as on the analysis of microalgal allelopathic behavior based on the detection of chemotactic responses using microfluidic devices. Both specific…

Identify the viability of the marine phytoplankton is important for biomonitoring because these organisms are the base of the trophic chain in aquatic ecosystems. The use of vital stains has been one of the techniques applied in this type of analysis, but the potential of some dyes that are applied to these functions is still unclear. The goal of this study is to test vital stains for det…
Digital holography represents an increasingly promising approach for underwater applica- tions. Competitive technological solutions arising from novel interdisciplinary studies are progressively paving the way for digital holography as a competitive tool for the enumera- tion and identification of particles and microscopic organisms in large-volume water samples. However, a challenging pr…
