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.
Below are two links to videos featuring current research projects in my group: Small mammals big personalities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqlXnbIrKTE Carnivores of Maine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bDAlIq9Tq4 and a feature article about our projects umainetoday.umaine.edu/stories/2018/wallflower-or-risk-taker/ |
