Dr. Pedro moved to Biology-UPEI in September 2005, after doing postdoctoral research at the Institute of Marine & Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University (New Brunswick, New Jersey). Previously, he graduated with a Ph.D. in marine biology from Memorial University (St. John’s, Newfoundland) and with MSc (zoology) and BSc (biology) degrees from Universidad Austral de Chile (Valdivia-Chile).
His research focuses on coastal habitats and their alteration by several sources of disturbance. His interest is in combining exploratory and experimental work, typically in the lab and the field, to test hypotheses with connotations to theory and management.
