Research interests:

My researchfocuses on cryptobenthic coastal fishes, as playing an important structuringpart in coastal communities. In particular, I’m studying the effects of habitatcharacteristics on the structure of cryptic reef fish assemblages on coastaldefence structure in North Adriatic sea.

I’m looking atpopulation dynamics and species distribution across different spatial scales.The cryptic assemblage is evaluated using a modified visual census technique toinvestigate habitat preferences.
