ConservationIn situ and ex situ conservation of a highly threatened species, including habitat restoration (creation of ponds, restoration of springs and watering troughs), captive breeding and restocking and reintroduction programs.
Explore project
Technology and methodsUse of miniaturised devices (triaxial accelerometers, magnetometers, temperature sensors) to reconstruct spatial ecology and hidden movements of small ectothermic tetrapods.
Explore project
ConservationEvaluation of the role of artificial ponds and wetlands in the conservation of threatened amphibian species.

Ecology and monitoring“Stick insects as Parthenogenetic Indicators of Air pollution” – use of clonal organisms as bioindicators for monitoring air pollution in terrestrial environments.
Explore projectConservation project on this Sardinian endemic species, including population monitoring, distribution analyses, captive breeding and a pilot reintroduction project in the Settefratelli Mountains (CA).
Explore projectStudy of trophic ecology and individual specialisation in ectothermic vertebrates, analysing dietary niche at both population and individual levels across different ecological contexts.
Explore project
