Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Biomolecular Sciences (DiSB) of the University of Urbino, Italy. 

My research interests: biodiversity conservation; nematode taxonomy, ecology and biogeography; biodiversity estimation of nematodes in tropical and temperate ecosystems; spatio-temporal interactions between different trophic levels; effects of environmental changes on the composition of nematode assemblages and ecosystem ecological status; assessment of the human impact in the ecosystems; developing of new techniques for the use of nematodes in biomonitoring assessment. 

Ongoing research projects:
