Research Interests: Conservation Biology I am a PhD student in the Movement Ecology lab. My main research interest is in Conservation Biology, focusing on the landscape and regional scales. In my MSc thesis I tested the efficiency of cluster analysis based on environmental factors in representing regional species diversity. In my PhD research, I am studying the effect of matrix properties on the connectivity of plant populations in fragmented landscapes. Specifically, I am testing how different types of matrix habitat (i.e. forest vs. agricultural field) affect the extent of seed dispersal in Mediterranean shrublands. I hope to contribute both to the basic knowledge of
fragmentation effects on plant populations' dynamics and to the
management and land use planning of open areas. |
