معرفی
Vittoria Todisco is a researcher at Linnaeus University specializing in aquatic ecology with a focus on thiamin (vitamin B1) dynamics in Atlantic salmon populations. She is affiliated with the Food Web Ecology research group and the Linnaeus University Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial model Systems (EEMiS).
Her research interests center on food web transfer of micronutrients, particularly examining how thiamin deficiency affects salmon behavior and offspring survival in the Baltic Sea. She investigates adaptations among aquatic organisms to environmental stressors including climate change and ultraviolet radiation exposure. Her work bridges ecological, physiological, and biochemical perspectives to understand nutrient dynamics across trophic levels.
Dr. Todisco's recent publications reveal a strong focus on thiamin metabolism in Atlantic salmon, with studies examining fatty acid profiles, life cycle dynamics, and transfer mechanisms through aquatic food webs. Her research has significant implications for understanding population declines in both salmon and mussel-eating sea birds.
She has recently completed her doctoral thesis on thiamine status in Atlantic salmon through Linnaeus University Press, establishing herself as an emerging expert in this specialized field of aquatic nutrient ecology.
