I am always fascinated about what we learn in the scientific literature regarding adaptation or strategies adopted by individuals to survive and reproduce in our world today.
Having the opportunity to contribute to discover how biotic and abiotic factors influence individual fitness both at early and adult stages by using very different and complementary ecophysiological and behavioral approaches passionates me. My results tend to encourage my future studies to pursue research on the early life conditions experienced by individuals because of their potential high impact on individual fitness.
I am particularly interested in working on scientific projects that aim to combine multidisciplinary approaches to understand how these changes modulate fitness-dependent decisions are taken by vertebrates and how the evolution of these strategies occurs.
