My research is primarily anchored in animal population ecology, behavioural, and evolutionary ecology. I am fascinated by the mechanisms driving species' adaptations to global warming and environmental alterations, as well as the consequent effects on interspecific interactions and species' expansion.
In my doctoral project, I focused on determining the influence of the matrix type (and permeability) on individual dispersion between patches of environment and investigated how isolation and restricted gene flow affect space use patterns, individual behaviours, population dynamics, and the genetic structure of the stone marten.
Currently, I am particularly interested in the morphological adaptations of mustelids induced by climate changes. Beyond researching changes in body size, I seek answers about the significance of morphological changes within the skull, employing microcomputed tomography for this purpose.
