Rate My Professor Daniele D'Agostino

His research centers on marine ecology, particularly coral reef fish ecology, acclimation and adaptation to extreme temperature and salinity conditions, phenotypic responses to human-induced environmental change, marine invasion ecology, ecotoxicology, and sustainable fisheries. At NYU Abu Dhabi since 2021, his work examines tolerance and acclimation of fish, corals, and seagrasses to extreme environments and climate change, as well as the impacts of desalination on marine ecosystems. Previous roles include Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham from 2020 to 2021 and Research Technician there from 2013 to 2015. He has authored or co-authored peer-reviewed publications including 'Growth impacts in a changing ocean: insights from two coral reef fishes in an extreme environment' in Coral Reefs (2021), 'The influence of thermal extremes on coral reef fish behaviour in the Arabian/Persian Gulf' in Coral Reefs (2020), and 'Behavioural traits and feeding ecology of Mediterranean lionfish and naiveté of native species to lionfish predation' in Marine Ecology Progress Series (2020). Additional contributions appear in Nature Ecology and Evolution and Molecular Ecology. He has presented at conferences such as the Fisheries Society of the British Isles symposia and the European Coral Reef Symposium, received a Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship for his PhD, and serves as a peer reviewer for journals including Coral Reefs. He has co-supervised student projects and demonstrated laboratory and field techniques in courses on animal behaviour, aquatic biology, and conservation genetics.
