Guilherme Corte

Guilherme Corte is an Assistant Professor in the Marine Biology Department at Texas A&M University at Galveston, affiliated with the College of Marine Sciences & Maritime Studies. His research focuses on benthic ecosystems, climate change impacts, and human activities shaping coastal environments.

• PhD in Ecology (2016), University of Campinas, Brazil
• MS in Ecology (2011), University of Campinas, Brazil
• BS in Ecology (2008), University of Campinas, Brazil

His lab conducts fieldwork-intensive studies on sandy beach biodiversity, urbanization effects, and climate change resilience. Recent work integrates traditional and novel sampling methods for fish and macrobenthos, emphasizing submerged zones and environmental drivers.

Key trends in his 15 most recent publications include:

• Urbanization impacts on Caribbean and Amazonian beaches
• Functional diversity in nearshore fish assemblages
• Coastal monitoring using benthic indices
• Climate change effects on gastropod behavior
• Integrative approaches to marine conservation

Benthic Ecology Lab at TAMUG explores real-world applications of marine conservation, combining experimental, observational, and synthetic methods to address urgent environmental challenges.
