Overview

Fernando Tuya is affiliated with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain. Their research primarily spans the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a strong focus on subfields such as Oceanography, Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, Nature and Landscape Conservation, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

Tuya's scholarly work addresses key topics including:

  • Marine and coastal plant biology
  • Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies
  • Marine Biology and Ecology Research
  • Marine and fisheries research
  • Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics
  • Marine animal studies overview
  • Ichthyology and Marine Biology

Recent publications reflect these interests and contributions to marine and environmental sciences. Among them are:

  • Levelling-up rhodolith-bed science to address global-scale conservation challenges, 2023, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Leveraging the blue economy to transform marine forest restoration, 2022, Journal of Phycology
  • Persistent thermally driven shift in the functional trait structure of herbivorous fishes: Evidence of top-down control on the rebound potential of temperate seaweed forests?, 2022, Global Change Biology
  • Evaluation of carbon sinks by the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa at an oceanic island: Spatial variation and economic valuation, 2020, Ocean & Coastal Management
  • Niche and neutral assembly mechanisms contribute to latitudinal diversity gradients in reef fishes, 2021, Journal of Biogeography

Tuya frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Francisco Otero-Ferrer, Fernando Espino, Ricardo Haroun, Néstor E. Bosch, and Sandra Navarro-Mayoral. These partnerships reflect an active engagement in multidisciplinary marine and ecological research projects.

Their work is commonly published in venues that have featured multiple of their studies, such as Diversity, Marine Environmental Research, Coral Reefs, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and The Science of The Total Environment.
