Biography
Biography
My current PhD project aims to evaluate the ability of current biodiversity monitoring methodologies to characterize marine benthic communities, and investigates the effect of climate change on Antarctic marine benthic communities.
My other research explores variation in the invasive success of freshwater fish. Specifically, I have investigated the role of species-level traits and individual heterogeneity in determining the outcome of species invasions.
