RESEARCHERS
Federico Morelli is a quantitative ecologist. He has been involved in several European projects modelling the impact of land use and climate change on spatial distribution of biodiversity. The main focus of his research interests are macro ecology, species distribution models, landscape metrics and biodiversity patterns and bioindicators useful for conservation planning.
Yanina Benedetti is an ecologist focused on the conservation and ecological processes of biological communities under anthropogenic disturbances influencing the spatial and temporal distribution of biodiversity.
Marketa Zarybnicka is an ecologist focused on citizen science, animal ecology, dynamics of animal populations, predator-prey dynamics, reproductive and feeding strategy, geographical gradient in animal reproduction, habitat preferences.
Dilara Arslan is an ecologist focused on the conservation of amphibians and animal ecology, who finished her PhD studies in community ecology at Tour du Valat Research Institute and l'Université d'Avignon in France.
