NIKI CHARTOSIA
Niki Chartosia graduated from the Department of Biology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. There she got her MSc in Hydrobiology & Aquacultures and her PhD in subjects related to marine biology and Ecology.
From 2012 to 2017, she has worked as a special scientist or visiting professor at the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Cyprus, for teaching the courses of Zoology, Animal Physiology, Marine Biology, Biodiversity of Cyprus and Marine Ecology to graduate and post-graduate students.
From January 2018 she possesses the position of the Special Teaching Staff at the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Cyprus and she is teaching Zoology and Ecology labs, and also Animal Physiology, Marine Biology, Biodiversity of Cyprus and Marine Ecology to graduate and post-graduate students of the Department.
At the same time, she is a Special Scientist of Research at the Oceanography Centre of the University of Cyprus, where she has a lab to conduct her research.
Niki Chartosia is interested in studying and recording marine biodiversity, emphasizing in the fauna of the marine environment of Cyprus. One of her major research interests is the examination of the interactions between marine alien and native species. Through the study of the biology and ecology of alien species and also of their feeding habits, the consequences of the impacts of alien species on the native natural environment are being recorded. These records are then related to climate change and the rise of the planet’s temperature and also to other anthropogenic impacts. Furthermore, her research is also focused on the study of the structure of different marine communities and how this is changed due to anthropogenic impacts, including the rise of the temperature and the fishing activity.
