Bio-sketchI am an Associate Professor in Ecology at the University of Trieste (Italy). Research in my lab is focused on understanding the ecological consequences of animal behavior. We combine large-scale field-based projects with cutting-edge quantitative approaches. I have conducted field projects in Europe (Italy, Austria), Africa (Kenya, Libya, Mauritania, Tunisia), south-east Asia (Indonesia), Australia and the US.

"No scientific theory is worth anything unless it enables us to predict something which is actually going on. Until that is done, theories are a mere game of words, and not such a good game as poetry"
JBS. Haldane (1937)
