Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Padova with a strong focus on ecology and conservation biology in terrestrial ecosystems. My main research interests include the impact of global change on species, populations, and communities and the ecosystem services they provide. I work with a wide spectrum of taxonomic groups including both plants and insects. I often apply a multiple-scale approach investigating processes at the local, landscape, and biogeographical scales.
