Interessi di ricerca

My research focuses on the study of the ecology and management of marine ecosystems. My main research activity has been focused on addressing ecological questions and incorporating this understanding in the conservation and management of ecosystems. During my PhD, I studied how processes and species interactions shape marine communities and used this knowledge to make systematic conservation plans. Later in my research career, I expanded my research interests focusing on how human stressors underlie the organization, spatial variation, and temporal change in marine communities as well as on how conservation interventions (i.e., the establishment of marine protected areas) affect marine organisms and shape marine communities and ecosystems. I also shifted my conservation interests from conservation planning to the broader concept of spatial prioritization of conservation actions. That is, besides identifying priority areas for protection (i.e., where to establish marine protected areas), my research aimed to identify which specific actions (e.g., targeted removal of invasive species, deployment of anti-trawling reefs, or establishment of ecological moorings) should be placed where and for how long in order to conserve and/or restore efficiently biodiversity and related ecosystem services. To address such scientific questions, I use a variety of methods and tools including underwater visual surveys, field experiments, metanalysis, modelling, optimization algorithms, expert knowledge elicitation.
