About Katy R Nicastro

Katy R Nicastro, With an exceptional h-index of 30 and a recent h-index of 24 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Universidade do Algarve, specializes in the field of Marine ecology, Biodiversity, Biological invasions, Biogeography, Plastic pollution.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

The tolerance of a keystone ecosystem engineer to extreme heat stress is hampered by microplastic leachates

Microplastic leachates inhibit small-scale self-organization in mussel beds

Intraspecific genetic lineages of a marine mussel show behavioural divergence when exposed to microplastic leachates

Leachates from pyroplastics alter the behaviour of a key ecosystem engineer

The neglected role of intraspecific variation in plastic pollution research

Transcriptome wide analyses reveal intraspecific diversity in thermal stress responses of a dominant habitat‐forming species

Euendolithic Infestation of Mussel Shells Indirectly Improves the Thermal Buffering Offered by Mussel Beds to Associated Molluscs, but One Size Does Not Fit All

Symbiont-induced phenotypic variation in an ecosystem engineer mediates thermal stress for the associated community
