Research
My PhD project aims at investigating the long-term impacts of invasive crayfish on food webs, using both experimental and modelling approaches. Through a mesocosm experiment, I monitor the population dynamics of key biological compartments of ecosystems, including phytoplankton, zooplankton, periphyton, macrophytes, macroinvertebrates, and crayfish. This data provide insights into how crayfish influence the ecological balance and stability of lentic food webs. Additionally, I am leading a meta-analysis of existing literature to assess the global effects of invasive species on food web structures and dynamics.
