Silvia Maciá

**Silvia Maciá**  ye una bióloga marina d'Estaos Xuníos; y, profesora de bioloxía en Barry Universidá en Miami Shores, FL. Enseñó bioloxía marina, oceanografía, ecosistemes marinos tropicales, ecoloxía, ciencies ambientales, y botánica.

En 1999, realizó la defensa de la tesis: ''The effects of sía urchin grazing and drift algal blooms on a subtropical seagrass bed community (Los efeutos del llendo d'oriciu y la proliferación d'algues nuna comunidá subtropical d'algues marines)''.

Los sos intereses de busca inclúin comportamientu d'apareyamientu de peces aguyeretia o pez pipa, ecoloxía comuñal de pradería marina, apacentamiento en petón de coral, restauración de pradería marina. Les sos investigaciones impliquen tanto llaboratoriu como trabayu de campu.

Silvia ye quiciabes más conocíu pol so descubrimientu de que'l calamar de petón del Caribe (*Sepioteuthis sepioidea*) puede volar. Ella y el so home, el biólogu Michael Robinson saleaben na mariña norte de Xamaica cuando vieron daqué volar fora de l'agua. De primeres pensaron que yeren pexes voladores pero dempués de mirar per unos segundos, diéronse cuenta de que yeren calamares.
