I am a macroecology researcher and biogeographer with an interest in global-change effects in polar areas, and in particular the associated terrestrial biodiversity range shifts. I have been involved in conservation policy-making in polar area protection, management of human impacts, biosecurity risk assessments and ecosystem carrying capacities.
Current research projects / interests:
- Biodiversity redistribution patterns and processes;
- Ecological niche modelling;
- Phylobiogeography;
- Functional diversity and Community Traits;
- Ecosystem services mapping.
