Research interests

In my research I am integrating studies in ecology, phylogeography and population genetics of bats, ecology of infectious agents and ecological modelling, to understand ecological and evolutionary patterns of bat diversity. I am also interested in applied conservation and management of populations and ecosystems, and human dimensions of wildlife, under a logic of sustainable development.
