LAB MEMBERS
(most recent first)
ALESSANDRA BISSATTINI
Post-doc, Sapienza University of Rome
Alessandra is a conservation biologist and ecologist with a particular interest in amphibians and reptiles. Her research incorporates statistics, laboratory work, fieldwork and different study methods to answer specific questions relating to species management and conservation. The aim of her postdoc is to investigate allometric relationships in herps tio inform extinction risk assessments.
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.

VICTOR CAZALIS
Post-doc, iDiv Centre (Leipzig, Germany)
Victor is part of the sRedList working group aiming at developing an innovative and consistent framework for prioritising updates of the IUCN Red List assessments, using automated approaches.

MARTA CIMATTI
PhD student, Sapienza University of Rome
Marta is a PhD student at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy). The aim of her project is to identify areas of universal biodiversity value to inform conservation intervention and policy, quantifying the risk that global change poses to these areas and the services they provide.

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.

PAST MEMBERS
VALERIA Y. MENDEZ A.
Valeria was a Research Assistant, former MSc student, at Sapienza University. She worked on the impact of climate change on terrestrial biomes and its implications for terrestrial mammals' conservation.
HERNÁN CÁCERES-ESCOBAR
Hernán is a veterinarian and conservation scientist and was a Post-doc at Sapienza University of Rome. The aim of his project was to explore how anthropogenic-driven environmental change affects disease hazards to create future scenarios of risk under a One Health perspective.
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.
