From 5 to 16 November 2018, Arnaud Bertrand (IRD/MARBEC) gave a 60-hour lecture in ecosystem ecology in Recife, Brazil. This lecture forms part of the Master and Doctorate program of the Federal (UFPE – Department of oceanography) and Federal Rural (UFRPE – Department of fisheries and aquaculture) Universities of Pernambuco.

This course which aims at proposing integrated approaches allowed to foster interaction with and between students working on the marine ecosystem from Northeast Brazil. This allowed to better integrate the key ecological proceses (Task 2.2).
