Major research interests

My major research interests consider molecular ecology of marine organisms and focus on the way population connectivity and genetic structure may be impacted by changing environmental conditions. Research areas are the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic, the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea. At present, specific research topics are:
- Population connectivity of notothenioid fish species,
- The mitochondrial mutation rates in relation to species’ max lifespan in pelagic notothenioid fish,
- Hybridization among Antarctic notothenioid species of the icefish family.

Teaching and supervision of students

Each year, I train between two to five master students in my research topics and methodologies. At present, two students are working with me and with my collaborators abroad over a range of different research topics and target species, from population genetics of fish to ecology and adaptation of invertebrates. During the last academic year, I have taught three courses: Elements of demography and molecular ecology of marine organisms (first time), Biological responses to climate change (since 2016) and Ecology methods for environmental sciences (since 2014). I’m volunteering in an Intercultural Peer Observation activity and I’m now part of a group of change agents from different disciplinary fields aimed at supporting the development of innovative teaching for adult learning.

Area di ricerca

My major research interests consider molecular ecology of marine organisms focussing on population genetic structure and the way population connectivity may be impacted by changing environmental conditions. Research areas are the Antarctic, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Adriatic Sea.
At present, three major elements of this research are:
1) the role of hydrography and environmental parameters in shaping population genetic structure in Antarctic and Mediterranean organisms,
2) the impact of climate change at interspecific level with a particular focus on potential outcomes of secondary contacts among closely related marine species,
3) the effects of climate change and exploitation in marine organisms as potential perturbators of lifespan limits and aging pace.
These research lines fulfill my interests in combining my passion for molecular ecology of marine organisms and the need to provide multidisciplinary and compelling background information for sound management and conservation of marine resources (biodiversity and populations).
I and my research team are investigating these aspects by analyzing genome-wide genetic variability in combination with various expertise deriving from my international collaborators.
