Overview

Marzia Bo is affiliated with the University of Genoa in Italy and has contributed extensively to environmental science and earth and planetary sciences. Their research primarily addresses marine ecosystems, with a particular focus on coral and marine ecosystems studies as well as marine ecology and invasive species.

Their work spans several interconnected subfields, including ecology, oceanography, global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, and ocean engineering. The main topics covered in their research include coral and marine ecosystems, marine and coastal plant biology, marine biology and ecology research, marine and fisheries research, marine sponges and natural products, and marine biology and environmental chemistry.

Marzia Bo has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Giorgio Bavestrello, Federico Betti, Francesco Enrichetti, Margherita Toma, and Simonepietro Canese.

Their research outputs are often published in journals such as Diversity, Coral Reefs, Frontiers in Marine Science, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, and The European Zoological Journal.

Selected recent publications include:

  • "Evidences of fishing impact on the coastal gorgonian forests inside the Portofino MPA (NW Mediterranean Sea)" (2020, Ocean & Coastal Management)
  • "Are well-studied marine biodiversity hotspots still blackspots for animal barcoding?" (2021, Global Ecology and Conservation)
  • "Assessment and distribution of seafloor litter on the deep Ligurian continental shelf and shelf break (NW Mediterranean Sea)" (2020, Marine Pollution Bulletin)
  • "The high biodiversity and vulnerability of two Mediterranean bathyal seamounts support the need for creating offshore protected areas" (2020, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems)
