I come from the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. I completed my bachelor (in 2016) and master (in 2018) degrees in Natural Sciences in University of Padova. My master thesis title is "Impact of landscape simplification on spider communities: A case study in NE Italy". My personal interests are spider and insect ecology, community and bipartite network statistical analyses. Very recently, I've started to deal with DNA metabarcoding approach for investigating arthropod community changes in forest landscape. In fact, my current PhD project regards the impacts of windstorm Vaia on soil arthropod communities.
