RESEARCH

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 current changing world.

Apprehending how anthropogenic-linked biotic and abiotic factors influence individual fitness both at early and adult stages passionates me. To do so, I used to combine multidisciplinary approaches to understand how these changes modulate fitness-dependent decisions taken by vertebrates and how the evolution of these life-history traits occurs.
