Overview

Joaquim Garrabou is affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council in Spain and has an extensive publication record primarily focused on environmental science, with a significant emphasis on ecology, global and planetary change, and oceanography. Their research addresses various aspects of marine ecosystems and the impact of environmental stressors.

Their scholarly output includes work on coral and marine ecosystems, marine ecology and invasive species, marine and fisheries research, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, marine and coastal plant biology, marine biology and ecology research, and ichthyology and marine biology. These topics reflect a strong focus on understanding marine biodiversity and ecosystem responses to environmental change.

Joaquim Garrabou has published frequently in venues such as Frontiers in Marine Science, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Global Change Biology, and Nature Communications. These publication outlets reflect a blend of open-access platforms and peer-reviewed journals dedicated to environmental and marine sciences.

Some of their recent papers include:

  • Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea, 2022, Global Change Biology
  • Unpublished Mediterranean records of marine alien and cryptogenic species, 2020, BioInvasions Records
  • Embracing Nature-based Solutions to promote resilient marine and coastal ecosystems, 2022, Nature-Based Solutions
  • Climate change transforms the functional identity of Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages, 2021, Ecology Letters
  • A Roadmap for the Restoration of Mediterranean Macroalgal Forests, 2021, Frontiers in Marine Science

Throughout their career, Joaquim Garrabou has collaborated repeatedly with several researchers. Notable coauthors include Cristina Linares, Jean-Baptiste Ledoux, Paula López-Sendino, Nathaniel Bensoussan, and Daniel Gómez-Gras. These collaborations indicate a network centered around marine ecology and environmental change.
