The aim of this group is to foster passion in scientific research and biodiversity conservation. We are based at Ovidius University of Constanta, in Southeastern Romania. Our field research sites are in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, on the shore of the beautiful Black Sea.

Research topics addressed:

• growth and senescence patterns in ectotherms;

• adaptations and resilience to environmental stress; 

• animal behavior and communication;

• monitoring, impact and management of alien species.

Collaborations on other topics are welcomed with enthusiasm!
