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.

LARA MARCOLIN
MSc student, Sapienza University of Rome
Lara is a student in the MSc course of Ecobiology. The aim of her MSc project is to assess the relationship between various biodiversity metrics and emerging zoonotic disease 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.
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.

ANDREA SACCHI
Andrea was a MSc student and the aim of his project was to assess the impact of extreme climate events on Nature's Contributions to People (NCPs) and on species extinction risk under different climatic scenarios.
ANDREA SESSA
Andrea was a MSc student who worked on the change in the provision of Nature's Contributions to People (NCPs) under different climatic scenarios and alternative pathways of socio-economic development.
ETIENNE HENRY
Etienne was a MSc student in the sRedList project based in iDiv Germany, where he developed and tested new models of extinction risk prediction based on Red List criteria.
PABLO M. LUCAS
Pablo was a postdoc on a project funded by the Global Wildlife Conservation, in collaboration with the sRedList working group, where he developed and tested new automatic approaches to assess the conservation status of species.
MARIA LUMBIERRES CIVIT
Maria was a PhD student at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), part of the European Training Network Inspire4Nature. The aim of her project was to identify new Key Biodiversity Areas using spatial prioritisation techniques.
THOMAS MERRIEN
Thomas did a MSc under the supervision of Rob Salguero-Gómez, Katrina Davis at Oxford University and Moreno Di Marco at Sapienza University. The aim of his project was to evaluate the impact of human settlements on the demographic signature and performance of plant and animal species, compared to their dynamics in pristine habitats, worldwide.
