Piero Calosi

Piero Calosi is Professor at Université du Québec à Rimouski, where his research examines physiological adaptations to global environmental change. His work investigates whether evolutionary responses can prevent extinction under climate-driven stressors like ocean warming, acidification and hypoxia.

Comparative approaches analyze thermal tolerance limits, metabolic trade-offs and adaptive capacities across marine species. By integrating experimental evolution with field studies, he evaluates plasticity constraints and evolutionary potential in changing oceans.

Research contributes critical predictions about biodiversity redistribution and ecosystem resilience. Collaborative projects span biogeographic gradients to identify physiological thresholds and vulnerability hotspots in marine systems.
