LAB MEMBERS
(most recent first)
GIACOMO MASIELLO
MSc student, Sapienza University of Rome
Giacomo is an MSc student in Ecobiology, currently working on single-season occupancy models using camera traps. The aims of his work are to determine the factors that most influence mountain mammals occurrence and to evaluate the effect of livestock presence on their spatial distribution in two ecological corridors of central Italy.
VALERIO MEZZANOTTE
MSc student, Sapienza University of Rome
Valerio is a student in the MSc course of Ecobiology. The aim of his project is to assess the climate exposure of European protected areas. His work is based on the main climate change metrics, such as magnitude and climate change velocity, to evaluate the potential impacts of climate change on these areas under different SSP scenarios.

ANDREA TONELLI
PhD student, Sapienza University of Rome
Andrea is a PhD student, and former MSc student, in the lab working on the prediction of zoonotic risk associated to blueprint diseases. The aim of his PhD project is to assess the zoonotic hazard posed by mammalian viruses at global scale, understanding the distribution patterns of viral diversity, and the priority for monitoring zoonotic risk.
FEDERICA VILLA
Research Assistant, Sapienza University of Rome
Federica is a research assistant at Sapienza University and she will support the teaching of Global Change Biology course. She has a MSc in Ecobiology and the aim of her MSc project was to investigate the relationship between physiological stress and macroparasite infections in Eurasian red squirrel. She is also enrolled in a one-year Master in scientific communication at Sapienza University.
GIORDANO MANCINI
PhD student, Sapienza University of Rome
Giordano is a Ph.D. student funded by the italian National Operational Program (PON) for research and innovation. He is working on climate change exposure measurement to support IUCN Red List climate change assessment, in collaboration with the sRedList working group. He is also interested in the effect of global change on human-biodiversity coexistence.
CHIARA DRAGONETTI
PhD student, Sapienza University of Rome
​Chiara is a PhD student, and former MSc student, in the lab working on the impacts of global change on mountain biodiversity from a local to global scale. She completed a MSc where she studied the change of the niche breadht of mountain's mammals under future climatic conditions, and an internship where she investigated to role of corridors for local movements of mountain mammals.

CHIARA GIORGIONE
MSc student, Sapienza University of Rome
Chiara is a student in the MSc course of Ecobiology. She is working, from the CITES database, on the export rates of wild animals of different countries in the world. The aim of her work is to understand the effects of conflict and other socio-economic factors on the annual volume of wildlife traffic for nations.
NICCOLÒ CECI
MSc student, Sapienza University of Rome
Niccolò is an MSc student in Ecobiology. The aim of his project is to estimate the density of mountain mammals in a corridor area of the Central Apennines and to evaluate how their movements are affected by human activities.
SOFIA SILVESTRI
MSc student, Sapienza University of Rome
Sofia is a student in the MSc course of Ecobiology. She is working on the estimate of the generation length of reptiles and amphibians, for the appropriate application of IUCN Red list criteria in estimating the future risk due to climate change.
JUAN PABLO RAMIREZ-DELGADO
PhD student, University of Northern British Columbia (Canada)
Juan is a PhD student at University of Northern British Columbia (Canada), and worked on the impacts of human pressure on habitat fragmentation and its relation to species extinction risk.
