GLOBAL CHANGE BIOGEOGRAPHY
I am interested in understanding how the geographical distribution of species is limited by the environment and how this relationship determines the impact of global change on biodiversity.
My research is focused both on climate change and habitat loss drivers, aiming to relate regional conservation policies with species vulnerability.
